Usually I think it's bad form to announce plonks, but this YT crap
has gotten totally out of hand. The viciousness of the attacks has
dramatically increased over the last couple of weeks, with the usual
suspects in the lead. I've tried my best to reason with these folks,
but they're so mired in their hatred it's like talking to a rock.

I trust that PR, abe, BM, O'L, and a few others will continue to
attempt to keep them honest. But I'm out of it, I'm tired of it. I
think it drags down the newsgroup. I got no joy out of debating
them anyway. It's a shame, because in a few cases I've enjoyed
conversations with them on other topics.

So, the following new blood has joined my killfile:
YT#1 (fattuchus)
YT#2 (F. Parella)
YT#3 (Blackpool Jimmy)
YT#4 (Danny)
YT#5 in both incarnations (Usurper Tom and Revenge of Sith)
YT#6 (Eric B.) hasn't posted for a long time but if he does again
he'll join the others.
I've also added a couple of YT wanna-bees who I won't dignify by
mentioning their names.

As abe and a few of the others have mentioned, you don't have to be a
Yoko Ono fan to be thoroughly disgusted by all the venom that's
spewed on this newsgroup. You people make me sick, and I don't want
to have anything further to do with you.

Aww, Danny provides too much entertainment to killfile him altogether.
And BPJimmy has been more constructive lately.

Yeah, I think if anyone prevented me from doing this a long time ago, it
was those two. I was hesitant about it. It may not be forever, who
knows? But for now, I need a break from it. If I see it, I respond to
it. And the trouble is, it's not confined to specific threads, it's
likely to break out anywhere. And if one of those two makes a comment,
the others join in.

I can't imagine anyone arguing that the posts of #1 and #2 have any
value, though.

Is M. Noland one of your "YT wanna-bees"? His output just seems to be
getting worse and worse.

You guessed it.
