I don't know if this is OT or not, but I was curious, so I'm going to
ask anyway. Forgive me.
How many of you complain about egregious off topic posting? Of course,
what each of us considers to be egregious will vary, so please allow me
to clarify. I'm not talking about the occasional breach of netiquette. A
posting here or there about a job which generally can be handled by
suggesting a more proper course of action to the poster. I'm not
talking about the occasional system specific post or even the occasional
question about Java, BASIC etc.
No. I'm wondering about the persistent rude insulting poster.
I ask because I suspect that certain companies that provide the ability
to do usenet postings look at the number of complaints and decide what
to do on that basis. But of course I could be wrong.
And the reason I'm asking here and now is that we seem to be getting a
visit from such a poster.
So how many of you have taken a look at the poster's headers and
complained? A show of hands please.
TIA,
LR
