    Glen I'm with you as long as people post meaningful items then we should continue supporting this group. AND I just checked there is a icon with a ! in it up at the top of the screen. People can use that to report abuse if they wish



    It's "Gene". :)



    Reporting "abuse" in this case is pointless.  The derp is posting with a fake name/email address.  The only thing we know is where he's posting from.  Typically

    usenet news providers will not take any kind of action unless the person is

    doing seriously illegal things - and even then it requires a law enforcement

    action of some kind for them to chase the dork down and cut off his access.



    The simple thing to do would be to configure your newsreader to ignore traffic

    from his posting host (this info can be found in the header of his messages).



    If you're using Google Groups to read this newsgroup, you're pretty much SOL.

    I'd recommend getting a dedicated newsreader such as XanaNews and then use

    one of the free news servers such as the one available through bbs-scene.org.

    Who knows. Then again, it's not a "forum", it's a "newsgroup" and it
    never was abandoned, despite what some may think.
