That is not a good reason to spread olcott's garbage in this group.

I, like many others I guess, don't have a sophisticated newsreader as 
Ben has, and, although I have blocked PO a wile ago, I still get a /lot/ 
of his garbage because of your replies.
Now, I could block you too, but so far I don't have a reason to do this, 
unless you keep pouring olcott's stuff in here.

All in all, Ben is very much right when he says that being filled up 
with junk is the biggest threat to usenet in general (which is in fact 
largely dead already because of this exact problem), and c.l.c and 
c.l.c++ in particular, which have somehow managed to keep some standard 
of activity and interest.
It would be a pity if these groups would die too.
