The newsgroup appears to be being treated to a reposting, entry by
entry, of the contents of "Gardening for the Million" by Alfred Pink.

Perhaps the poster could be persuaded that it might be better (and less
work for her) just give the URL rather than repost the entire book.

For those who are interested go to:

http://www.fullbooks.com/Gardening-f...-Million1.html

For those who aren't, try a kill-filter :-)

Me too and a lot faster than it took her to post them all.

Actually, the real reason that it was almost certainly done by a
man is that it was almost certainly done by writing a script, and
not by typing every entry in by hand :-)

This seems to be the person who does the same in ukfd, posting thousands of
recipes to the disruption of the group. While it's on-topic, it's not
exactly conducive to 'conversation' which is, of course, the whole idea.
It's just sad that some poor individual has nothing better to do with their
life.

It wouldn't occur to me that *anyone* would have entered everything by hand!

It's something else to add to global kill filter. I filter anyone who
posts more than 5 messages in sequence or at the same time.

So do I and so do a lot of others. It depends on when people get time to
get to the group and answer what interests them. Some stick them in the
outbox and then send all at once.
