Anyway to clean this up??

Just was wondering why there is so much junk on the site recently? I always enjoyed the R/C info but it's almost not worth looking anymore.

If you want to talk modelling pure and simple, go to rcgroups.

Usenet has always had a high noise to signal ratio.

Whether you like it or not, it won't change.

So change your ideas, or the way you exchange info.

The crap that shows up here usually comes from the same people, and also is usually spam posted to multiple newsgroups. For a simple fix to filter out (PLONK) individuals, and if you're using IE Explorer, have the assinine message highlighted, and click on "Block Sender" that you will find up there in the "Message" menu at the top of the screen. From that point on, messages posted from that sender won't even appear on your screen. You may also use alternate means of accessing newsgroups that allow you to block any messages other than those that are sent exclusively to the rec.models.rc.air group, but my main point is that there ARE ways to make your newsgroup experience easier to take. You're just going to have to do some research on your own.

This from one of the biggest junkmasters on the site.

So? If you don't like it, I gave valid instructions on how to avoid it.

You, DR1 driver and C O Jones are the biggest plonkers here.

If they are bigger plonkers, then why is your post rate ~50% higher than either of them ???????????????

Because I have more free time? Can you elucidate the logic that equates frequency of posting with plonk factor?

Less of a life is more like it!

Sure Ray --

The best way is to ABSOLUTELY NOT REPLY to any of the junk postings. Take a pledge to TOTALLY IGNORE THEM!
