Yeah, I'll agree, basic Fred Flinstone "Hold it, HOOOOLD IT, hold it!"
moment:
A goofy Unfrozen 90's-Caveman RSPW-barbarian troll dies overnight on
this group, gets a couple sucker breaks on some other barbarian group
that doesn't know how to clean their headers, keeps our group on the
crosspost list just to nyah-nyah us "fagboy otakus" who smart-slapped
him in front of all the other groups :-P , and then hit some dream
"Wrestling/Obit Headline" temporary
gold-vein by pure coincidence that ONLY a 90's Unfrozen Trollboy would
still think was "shock" material in 2007...And somebody was actually
talking about "giving up on the group"??

Ano, sore wa, eigo de hana***, kudasai?

Simple translation:
"Threat" to the group?...YOU HAVE FREAKIN' *GOT* TO BE -KIDDING-!!! ;)

You say that now, wait till it takes 30 minutes for your newsreader
to killfile all the spam for a day.

I've still got one of Joel Furr's "Green Card Lawyers: Spamming
the Globe" T-shirts that I bought when Canter and Seigel first
showed up. I was around before spam, and when trolls still
avoided light...

And there are now newsgroups that were flourishing then but have
sunk into a morass of these trolls, so, yeah, there is a threat.
The threat of irrelevancy due to neglect and apathy. The threat
of "ah, it's too much trouble to wade through the thousands of
spam/troll/crap posts just for the one or two posters I want to
read."

Cap.
(... I was online when the real Kibo could grep a whole day's
Usenet feed for his name, and when no one dared type S*rdar *rgic's
full name ...)

Wow. Those are names I haven't thought about in years!
