The trolls have always been the death of Usenet (see "Joe Blob" at
the seniors/older women groups). But, in truth, Usenet is dead anyway.
The vast majority of posts are from spammers and very few groups exist
that are worth a look.
I don't blame you one bit for making this decision. What's the point,
anymore? Remember Usenet 20 years ago? Nospam groups that actually
were. That was the "good times". Now it's all pretty much a wasteland.
I wonder how long the spammers and dickheads will continue on
Usenet...after we are all gone?? That is the only redeeming factor for
me...spammers and trolls posting to NOBODY! LOL!
Be well, Buddy.
