    The flood seems to have started on the 24th October 2023, so I've still
    got a way to go, but the end is in sight.

    Darius the particularly Dumb is a different kind of problem.

    John Larkin has been just as reliably wrong for a lot longer, and we
    haven't been able to either educate him or get him to shut up in twenty >years.

    I have reasonable success by blocking posts with an unreasonable
    large subject line (>60 chars). comp.lang.forth was unreadable
    before that. (Not that it is a solution, but hey!)
