Mike Crowe has pretty much single handedly ruined the IOW local NG
through posting incessant crap. Would it not be a splendid idea for
all users of groups he posts on to kill-file him for 2012, which might
just send him a message he is going to understand?

After years of trying to appeal to his good nature (obviously absent) to get
him to desist from his attempts at annoying all and sundry I put him in my
Blocked Senders list ages ago. Unfortunately a lot of people when they reply
to him re-post his crap, instead of snipping it, so I end up seeing his
pathetic ramblings despite my best efforts.

Yes, very annoying for me too. There is not much we can do but educate the
persons who reply to the ramblings. Snip the text, don't repost it with
your reply. It will then be talking to itself, as is only natural to a
rambler.

I use Agent as my newsreader and, by default, it is set not to display
anything other than the "current" message. If I want to see the one to
which it replies I just click on it to view. As MC's in my killfile,
his messages aren't listed and so I've happily avoided anything from
him since I can't remember when.

Some in this group read his messages only to check for any defamation.
Others clearly read and reply and that's entirely their choice, it's
not for anyone else to dictate to them. I suppose it's for those who
never want to read MC's stuff to invest in a capable newsreader or if
they've got one to set the appropriate options.

MC's impact on the IOW newsgroup is entirely a matter for that group
to resolve. I find it a little irritating when things spill over from
that group like this and we are asked to do something of which the
other group seems incapable.

I don't usually enter discussions like this, but..........some months ago,
Mike helped me out with some info I needed, helpfully and politely. He's
never bothered me in any way, so....I won't be joining the
lemmings.....sorry.

Don't be sorry and don't call me a Lemming, that makes you sound like you
have been infected with the same evil persona as him.

You're not supposed to say things like that Martin, how are the Lemmings
going to pour out their bile with statements like that?

Except that is the exact opposite of a silent plonk.

A silent plonk would be one where you don't tell everyone on usenet that
you've done it...
