Call me a liar if you like but it certainly is true, I have considered
creating two groups and the reason I haven't is the small antisocial
element who do so much damage.

No trafic isn't slowly trailing off, trafic has rapidly trailed off
at a time when internet usage in the uk has grown exponentially.
Don't you think it's time you stopped and rethought your theories?
If you examin the facts, look at the evidence you will see they are
just words, they bare no relationship to reality at all.
I think it's time you looked out of your ivory tower at the real virtual
world. You and a very small group of dedicated people who have been on
the internet for years are prepared to find get and set up complicated
filters to make usenet barely manageble some of the time but by far the
vast majority of internet users arn't. You have made usenet the dominion
of the expert, I suspect that's what you wanted all along, keep it a
small select exclusive group of people who know what they are doing and
let the trolls keep the rifraf out. Well that rifraf was the next
generation, when we go usenet goes with us.

I write my own news transport software in perl, I can filter anything
from anything, I can make it dance. Most internet users wouldn't know
what a filter was if it jumped up and bit them though and there is no
incentive for them to learn.
As I said yesterday, we have rules on spam, 20 articles in 45 days and we
can start cancelling yet a manic depressive can fire off 200 cross-posted
articles a night and we can do nothing, that is not right is it?
