   FWIW, I came to exactly the same conclusion about both G2 and M$-based   
   postings. My signal to noise ratio went up +3dB or so instantly, after   
   routing that chaos to the bozobin (my X-spambot-trap header).   
      
   There's nothing personal intended; it's kinda like spam. I can't get a   
   thing done in email anymore without very agressive filtering. Yeah, it   
   does occasional toast a valuable message. But it's filter, or not read   
   anything in email (or Usenet) at all. Maybe it's just me...  :)

   IMO, it's kinda Darwinian selection at work. IME, most posters do that   
   Doze thing for a while, get clued to the the real world outside Monkey   
   Boy's toyware, and transition to FOSS. Those that don't typically find   
   FOSS very frustrating, and find Usenet less useful--especially if they   
   confuse libre with gratis when posting.   
      
   The worst is the 24/7 Usenet as toyware helpdesk. But I digress...  :)

   Really, it's (wyrd) at airmail, dotted with net. DO NOT SPAM IT.
