Troll infestation
Did somebody in r.a.m.m.m commit some crime for which the recent troll
infestation is the punishment? FWIW, here's a scorefile entry for slrn that gets rid of them: [rec.autos.makers.mazda.miata] Sco =-9999 Newsgroups: alt.autos.* Newsgroups: rec.autos.driving That will filter out all postings to r.a.m.m.m that are also cross posted to both rec.autos.driving and an alt.autos groups -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!

Cross-posted articles are ALWAYS trollage or spam. 23 articles were killed this morning. (I also kill anything from that moron Tony Lance.) -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

That's odd. I've been filtering out postings from google groups for a long time. Something must have broken, because I never saw any of that stuff in r.a.m.m.m until a few days ago. -- Grant |
