Yes. I find it rather apalling how many posts are being made all of a
sudden by newbies to the group, largely because the vast majority of
these posts are devoid of any real content and lacking in social
netiquette. I've already had to kill file Benne for this, and I'm
hoping I don't have to do that same for Mr. Jason.

No, I didn't want to, but I've found it necessary to do so when I open
my newsreader and see thirty posts from Mr. Jason and not a damn one of
them is worth the time it takes to read them.

Yes, that is sad. Besides, this is the second goddamn time my
newsfeed provider is telling me they are not going to provide free
service from June 1.

Quite! I have been out for exactly 12 hours today, (Annual County
Agricultural Association Show), and in my absence instead of the usual
20 > 30 posts, there have been 87!
