I'm not a regular reader of this group, I just dropped in to look at a

I also previously dropped into/ lurked/ this group some time ago in the
past, and alt.coffee's activities or content have definitely deteriorated
since the last time I was here.
If I were a regular visitor to alt.coffee, I would try to advise others
here to take the following actions to try to help restore useful content
to the group in preference to the noise here.
I would recommend that no one talk negatively to or about any others;
and very importantly, that no one talk to any of those who do. Since
some people can't mentally ignore such posts as above, then they should
mechanically filter out such posts - if they can. Reiterating: filter
out those who so negatively post and *also* any who frequently post to
them.
Unfortunately, sometimes there might not be much left here, but at least
the noise would cease to be an aggravation, the signal to noise would
improve, and likely the result would be that the overall signal would
improve due to improved activity from those who post usefully.
Sort of an ideological premise based on a newsreader, for a set of
filters somehow favorably to augment a basic precept, honor as innate
to humankind, conveys by itself willingly expedient, or at least
forthrightly noble. Apropos to this most pertinent juncture, in a
timely matter so to infuse the present tense -- what you refer to
among distractions, are ongoing, in and of a nature seeming of
expansionary qualities. A distant vestigial remainder, to play itself
through, be what may, since President Clinton around the "dotcom bust"
and events then that have since transpired. Do recall when a
pronouncedly greater infusion of academicians channeled through the
USENET, as well perhaps at some unsightliness to issuances of the
aforesaid ascendancy, when not just the USENET but the INTERNET was
opened to commerce under a due and just spirit of capitalistic assay.
According to no small aggregate among the Ivory Tower community, 'twas
to be the veritable demise of elucidate converse, whence the sluices
opened to a clamour and rabble of commoner aspects, Good Sir, I
suspect you but have alluded to, ipso facto, ergo to attempt thus the
sum.
