Kathy, I don't suppose you'd consider adding a little blurb about making
sure any replies to a message are sent to the "right" newsgroup, would you?

I don't know if it'd help any, but I'm not certain it wouldn't hurt...

Probably depends on how or where they are reading.
Stuff posted to rec.ponds and answered would just go
to rec.ponds. It is when folks reply to the troll stuff
that the cross posting seems to happen. Or am I
wrong here?

I'd almost think about having a general post on trolls
but think that would probably attract more attention
than it would help. At least to me. But if someone else
wants to risk it it would probably be a good idea.

Okay, I'm revising my answer here.
Just by posting at the bottom of the thread
where a troll had posted the dang post got
cross posted. I removed any that went thru
google.
I think this is something that requires more
sophistication than I have.
Does someone want to take on a daily - how to
deal with trolls post?
One rec.ponder had a good suggestion for my
post, as in start it with the letter 'a' as some
news readers list alphabetically. 'welcome' to
rec.ponds goes straight to the bottom, give or
take few letters ;-)

There is a solution to the flame wars and all the spam. Other newsgroups use a
method that seems to work well. For instance, if you post to
alt.binaries.pictures.astro (a newsgroups for amatuer astronomers who want to
share their astrophotographs), you are requested to post "astro:" at the
beginning of the subject line. Then everyone, by mutual agreement, creates a
messege filter in their newsreader that filters out any post that doesn't have
"astro:" in the subject line. Why can't we all agree to put "PONDS:" in our
subject line when posting and then simply filter out any messege that doesn't
include "PONDS:"? I think we should include this in the FAQ, and ask everyone
to do this. It might not filter out all of it, but it certainly should help get
rid of a lot of it. And it might take a while to catch on, but if we all agree
to it, and remind people to do it when posting, it might alleviate some of the
crap. What say all???

Surely you do not think anyone else could not easily put PONDS in the
subject line , thereby effectily getting past any filters invoked.
Filters are a joke, as they are much to easy to get around. In this
neck of the woods we usually eliminate the problem or
source........and being on this forum since 1996 is still not a
criteria for having any special or given rights than one person who
joins in today does............

Well, here's one of your crossposted shitstorms to keep the trolling
alive. Nothing's ever your fault, right?

No, I don't suggest that it is the end-all solution. That has to come from the
ISPs and/or the person doing the flaming. Besides this Jabriol person and a few
others (I particularly blame anyone who knowingly responds to the flaming),
there is the normal spam that comes around. If everyone agrees to use "PONDS:"
in their subject line, and writes a messege rule that excludes all others, at
least part of the problem is solved, because most annonymous mailers (and most
flamebots) won't know to include this in the subject line. And I completely
agree that it doesn't matter how long someone has been a subscriber to a
newsgroup. It is one's behavior that counts. So, just to let everyone know in
advance. I plan to post using "PONDS:" in the subject line. If you want to
respond to me, and expect that I will see it, you know what to do. Because I
will no longer respond to anyone who doesn't have it in the subject line. And I
may not, even then. I'm simply fed up with such childish, inappropriate use of
newsgroup that is supposed to be dedicated to such a great topic. GOD HAS
SPOKEN!
