Re:	The Zinfandel Syndrome (sounds like some cheap SF movie!)

This sounds like a good opportunity to suggest something which occurred to
me some time ago:  it would help eliminate a lot of trash if I could, in
addition to blacklisting certain newsgroups I don't want to read, if I could
blacklist certain individuals/sites whose submissions I don't want to read.
I know this sounds like guilt-by-association, but one has to defend oneself
somehow, and if there is no other appropriate mechanism ... well, I may be
forced to simply desubscribe to essentially ALL the newsgroups since the
proportion of useful information has dropped to just about 0.

Please direct any flames to /dev/null, as that is where any hate mail on this
subject will be dropped anyway ...
