Too bad about this newsgroup

This used to be an informative newsgroup, actually discussing
computer security topics.

Lately, it's been nothing more than a sandbox full of blathering
little children, who have nothing better to do, other than throw
childish little insults at each other.

Yep...

And it's splashing into alt.privacy.spyware and alt.comp.virus as well.

I agree. However, if you ignore the trolls they will go away eventually...

Please don't quit. There are some talented people here. Even though we don't
all agree sometimes this is still one of the best newsgroups around. Ignore
the trolls they will get tired and look somewhere else.

I've lurked her a very long time. It seems a lot of adolescents have
taken to calling it home and anybody that doesn't play the game their
way is referred variously in unflaterring ways.
I've learned a lot just by listening and have only posted a couple of times.
It's amazing how much more they know than the ones that help implement
the systems. LOL

Me, too!

Once in a while, just for shits and giggles, I'll turn my
filters off, just to see if the offenders have anything
worthwhile to say.

They don't.

It's not the posters that are the problem. Their posts are typically
filtered. It's the ones who respond to their drivel. Then I end up with a
bunch of Re: posts.
