I've said it before, I'll say it again.  I resent your use of the term
"trash groups" to describe any group which is not purely 100% technical
in content.  And if you don't read them, how can you know that what is 
being posted in there is trash?

Newsgroups exist for a number of reasons.  Just because you don't read a
particular group, you seem to label it trash.  I could call comp.sys.mac
a trash group, because none of the articles there have any relevance for 
me.  So don't call a group "trash" because it has no relevance for you.




And, just for your information, I've seen a informative postings from Gryphon
also.  And the mass of informative Portal postings come from a) two people
(that I can think of off-hand) and b) those two people use their real name,
and not a "handle".

Please, think before you post next time.
