What has happened to this newsgroup?

It used to be relatively rubbish- free but not any more.

Its all the crossposting from other groups, which was commenced by Mike
Crowe, a prolific troll from the IOW!

The first clause is largely true; the latter is not. Yes, he was guilty,
but he did not start the abuse.

Who cares who started it, there's no excuse for trolling. Can't we be left
to garden in peace?

They are just the same as vandals on an allotment, they get pleasure in
upsetting others and ruining others enjoyment and hard work. Why they have
this negative and destructive attitude goodness knows. It's rather sad.
Like all vandals you either ignore them and work round them or go after them
personally big time and frighten them off, adult type discussion of their
problem with them, or their parents if they are young, will not work IME.

Try thinking of them as the Usenet version of garden pests - irritating
and troublesome but unfortunately part of The Scheme Of Things. Asking
for slugs and aphids to leave you in peace doesn't usually work very
well, so either zap with a pesticidal killfile, or a systemic delete key
for colonised threads, or ignore as you see fit.

Just kill-file them. If it's an original message, I k-f by author as
they're the originator of the cross-post, and they don't appear again.
If it's a follow-up message I k-f by title. Keeps most of them off my
screen, although my k-f is rather large!

Using Forte Agent, BTW.

Some newsreaders allow you to killfile any message that is cross-posted
to another newsgroup, which can be very handy.
