But they are not a good way to stop them bothering others, bothering the group, or reducing its appeal. Imagine if some young new C programmer finds this group and looks to see if it is a good place to discuss C - and the first thing they see is one of Chad's "classic" posts. Any decent person is going to ask themselves if that is the kind of people they want to associate with. Filters change only your own view of a newsgroup - they don't change the public view. > Do you know how to create a filter?

The searchable archives are useful, but if posting from GG were stopped today, there would be few babies thrown out with a great deal of bathwater. And the useful contributors would mostly move to proper Usenet readers and servers, improving their own experience of Usenet as well as everyone else's.
