Hello everyone,

I don't know about you. But I am tired of the crossposting spam that has
been plaguing us. How many good posts about ponds has been lost? How many
new members have left?

Even the regulars don't participate like they use to. Here is a solution;
a moderated group to eliminate all the fuss, That Reel Mckoi and Jabriol
has brought to rec.ponds

The choice is yours; you can participte in your hobby, without the need of
updating your filters, or you can can post hoping that no one will forge
your e-maill address and land you in a kill file or filter.
Everyone can read from the group, but only members in goodstanding can
post.

Here is the information:

I'm doing fine, with a minimum of bother.
I will _not_ be held hostage by a few kooks, and I will _not_ take my ball
and bat and go home because of them.

And by the way, my pond is doing fine except for a few lotus-loving
muskrats that have now become in the words of John Cleese, EX-muskrats!

$$ You need to use your killfile. You wouldn't even see the cross-posted
messages. If you do see them simply pass them by as others do. It's no
big deal. :-)

Even the regulars don't participate like they use to. Here is a solution;
a moderated group to eliminate all the fuss, That Reel Mckoi and Jabriol
has brought to rec.ponds

$$ Excuse me - that JABRIOL has brought to rec.ponds in his quest to drive
me off Usenet. I've been posting on this newsgroup since 1996 without a
problem. Don't hold me responsible for his trolling, forgeries, harassment
and crossposting. Had he been ignored at the start as he was several other
times he invaded rec.ponds, he would not have stayed here. He was
encouraged to remain here, and here he stays.

The choice is yours; you can participte in your hobby, without the need of
updating your filters, or you can can post hoping that no one will forge
your e-maill address and land you in a kill file or filter.

$$ A moderated group would be excellent. Lets hope someone here knows how
to start one.

Everyone can read from the group, but only members in goodstanding can
post.

I hold you responsible for feeding the trolls and continuing a pointless
urination competition with no regard for the collateral damage.
And you constantly morph addresses, which is certain troll/kook sign in
itself.
(I accept a smidge of complicity for this outburst. I'll be quiet now for
a while unless it's pondish and not crossposted.)

$$ Thank you. Which trolls am I feeding here one rec.ponds? I post about
PONDS here, but then maybe you haven't noticed. :-)

$$ I do? This is the second change in months. You must be confused. Read
Jan's post - she suggested I do this. I can't please everyone on the group.

Not true - since Maxx (I think) suggested Carol sit on her hands when
provoked, I think she's been doing a fine job (I know I couldn't resist).

He's right about the changing addresses. Even twice in a year is too much.
It doesn't help resolve the problem, and just generally makes people
suspicious. You can't change identities any faster than the vermin
stalking you, so it is easier on you _and_ the rest of us to settle on a
single address. Jan knows ponds, but I respectfully suggest that she's not
an expert on usenet.

Yes, I did make that suggestion, but I also suggested you drop the sig.
line. Once he sees that, the cabal is lost. Why give him any hints? ~ jan

===================
If the cross-posting trolls can be kept off, more people will join. At one
time this was a really nice NG.....

I am the moderator. And you will post there no more. Your conduct and
behaviour here has cause this group to be virtually unreadable and full of
trash. Decent people like Elaine and others, who I value and gave great
contributions to this group are no longer with us. I am well aware of your
turn coat personality, you will treat people well and decent until they
critize you in a negative way, then you get nasty, I won\'t have that.
Your harrasment of others in the religious newsgroups is disgusting to me,
And while it is your right to do as you please on usenet, you will not do
so in this new group.

You are free to read whatever you want. You will not participate. I have
banned Jabriol as well. This group will be free of all the nonsense and it
will be user friendly. No need for filters, nor is there any need for
updating killfiles. I have complete control, and one off-topic post
(flame,religion,carol-jabriol sort of trash) will land them into permanent
exile.

Maybe one day when you are decent enough here and elsewhere, I may change
my mind. Maybe.

As for now, there are 4 of you on the newgroup. Once it is known as a
respectable group and a serious one, dedicated to ponds, it will grow, and
you can leave rec.ponds to the likes of Carol and Jabriol.


Anyone who use Googlegroups can read from it. But only members can post.

Spread the word
