Default Some Info on The flooder(s)

The recent flood here has all the hallmarks of a group of very nasty
Internet trolls that call themselves "Tykesground".

They work out of a Yahoo Group named, not surprisingly, Tykesground
and have ruined many other usenet groups over the past five years or
so.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tykesground

The best advice I can give is not to antagonise them as they have been
known to repeatedly email bomb anyone who criticises them.

Joe.

I guess the name is related to the fact that uk.local.yorkshire is
notorious for this sort of thing.

You are indeed quite correct, David.

Many, if not all, of these "Tykesground" trolls originated from the
uk.local.yorkshire newsgroup.

But, as I've said previously, it's not really a good idea to discuss
them too much here for fear or their nasty reprisals.

Joe.

Oh dear. Here we go again. This is a troll, David, just trying to stir
up trouble.
