Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / April 2004Anyway to clean this up??
Just was wondering why there is so much junk on the site recently? I always enjoyed the R/C info but it's almost not worth looking anymore.

Whether you like it or not, it won't change. So change your ideas, or the way you exchange info. This from one of the biggest junkmasters on the site. -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > > Just was wondering why there is so much junk on the site recently?

If you don't like it, I gave valid instructions on how to avoid it. You, DR1 driver and C O Jones are the biggest plonkers here. > -- > Paul McIntosh [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >>So change your ideas, or the way you exchange info. If they are bigger plonkers, then why is your post rate ~50% higher than either of them ???????????????

Because I have more free time? Can you elucidate the logic that equates frequency of posting with plonk factor? > David > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>>> >>>>So change your ideas, or the way you exchange info. > > If they are bigger plonkers, then why is your post rate ~50% higher > > than either of them ??????????????? > > Because I have more free time? > Can you elucidate the logic that equates frequency of posting with plonk > factor? Less of a life is more like it! The crap that shows up here usually comes from the same people, and also is usually spam posted to multiple newsgroups. For a simple fix to filter out (PLONK) individuals, and if you're using IE Explorer, have the assinine message highlighted, and click on "Block Sender" that you will find up there in the "Message" menu at the top of the screen. From that point on, messages posted from that sender won't even appear on your screen. You may also use alternate means of accessing newsgroups that allow you to block any messages other than those that are sent exclusively to the rec.models.rc.air group, but my main point is that there ARE ways to make your newsgroup experience easier to take. You're just going to have to do some research on your own. MJC > Just was wondering why there is so much junk on the site recently?

Which they won't.... And if you get bored, you can just delete the rule and read what they have to say.. .
