I no sooner end my response to Baker and boom, he's posting his. I've seen
this time and again. I can just picture him in his mum's basement, glued to
usenet.

I laughed and then decided to completely ignore his responses. Ya
know....give him the nomen treatment.

Then I started thinking things through. With Ken gone, Larry rarely
posting, how is Baker going to continue his schtick of picking stupid
fights. Undoubtably, I'm in his crosshairs and if I play along, I'm going
to be wasting time in ridiculous pissing matches with a silver spoon ski bum
who cannot admit to anything obvious. More pertinent, what does he bring to
the table in terms of golf or life in general? He's made one interesting
thread about stack and tilt. That's it!!!! Rest have been Larry and Ken
threads, ad nauseum.

Time for action. I recalled some advice Phlum gave me about an server
called news.individual.net out of Germany. I googled it up, paid my 10
Euros ($15) and now I'm off Google Groups for good.

First one plonked. Alan Baker. Next one...Dave Jones, aka nomen. You
think I'd plonk Tex but truth be told, he's entertaining, even downright
funny, and I like his politics. So Tex stays. Al and not-so-brave-dave
goes.

I feel great. Nice to have control of my NG again.

Good move.

I'm sure you will find RSG much more pleasant. I have a few people
plonked but without exception they are either worthless posters (like
Laura Bush Murdered, Miss Anne Thrope, etc) or the truly anonymous
people, i.e. not just people who use a handle to hide their private
lives. I also plonk without exception the political threads.

I tend to keep a lot of the flame wars because honestly I find them
quite funny at times.

Plonking, used when necessary, has made RSG quite enjoyable for me.
