Well, if the reader abhors being confronted with opinions of
individuals who understandably see no necessity of revealing their
incognito in the course of Internet discussions, then, indeed, a
remailer filter is a solution. Who cares?


My comment was in regards to filtering Google Groupers, not
remailers. That is not apparant here since you chose to snip the
context.

==== <csnipped context replaces>
And some filter Google postings ...

But isn't that a problem the individual reader has to deal with
instead of blaming the originator of the message?
==== <end of context replacement>

Is this blatant manipulation of the discussion? Or is
it a case of stupidity mistaken for malice?

And, yes, filtering GG posts does solve the problem of explicitly
ignoring worthless posts that would contain worthless opinions if
they contained any.

Having an X-No-Archive header does nothing more to keep a quote
of OP out of an archive than my X-No-Bananas header.

Correct.
