OK Smallbabe (remember her eh Dawlish?). I'm so ****ed off with the
bulk of the posts on USW that I'm now giving up for good, not just for
a couple of months like last time.

Please don't give up on us, Graham. Is there any particular reason why
you can't use a newsreader so that you can set up filters for ignoring
certain people? I find it a real boon.

Yep, I find Graham's posts informative and helpful too - I don't use a
killfile and rely on ignoring posts.... I hope regulars won't the furore
around one person kill the ng!

All my filters do is mark posts read so that I don't have to bother with
them. The system's there to ignore posts for me so why not use it. Instead
of getting themselves in a tizzy, others would be better off doing the same
instead of sounding the retreat. It's the one's running away who will cause
the downfall of the group, not the ones they're running away from.


Other option is a moderated group? Bit of a backward step IMO but it would
keep the 'community' together....

Ah, but who'd moderate the group and how long would it be before people
complained about being unfairly treated. Who'd moderate the moderator(s)?
