What's happening to CSMA?
ZnU
next couple of weeks, so I figured maybe I'd spend some time in CSMA.
Well, I show up today, create what I figure are some reasonable filters
to deal with some of the noise, and discover that they kill off over
HALF of the traffic here. In particular, my filters to kill off Snit and
direct responses to his posts *alone* account for half the traffic in
this group over the last several days. Sure, I can kill those posts, but
even so I still get residual effects; fewer on-topic posts, constant
references to Snit-related drama elsewhere, etc.
I might need to find myself a new newsgroup. Thanks, Snit.
(Of course, this post will just make the problem worse....)

I feel your pain. This has always been pretty much a free-for-all group,
but since Snit showed up, its become almost impossible to have a decent
discussion about anything.
The solution is to NOT REPLY TO SNIT. But for some reason, some people
just can't stop feeding him.

Welcome to the Snit circus, where the popcorn and cotton candy are stale,
and the smell of elephant dung is everywhere.

Yes, this is absolutely true. Snit is like Dutch elm blight. Once it
gets in the tree, it relentlessly works on the tree 'til it kills it.
Thanks Snit.

Yes, this is what I have been saying all along. I have been asking him to leave
for quite some time now. He has truly destroyed this group.
You can see a related post I made about this phenomenon here:

Snit seems to spend more time saying what's wrong with Windows than
what's right about Macs. He's so desperate, he keeps posting stories that
turn out to be human error, rather than OS or PC problems.

It's really very simple: Don't reply to posts in the "Snit circus".
And that not only goes for the posts made by Snit, but also all
replies in the Snit circus. Blame Snit for starting it if you want,
but he couldn't do it without the help of others. If nobody replied to
the circus posts, the circus threads would die before they ever
started. Do not tell him to leave. Do not tell him he's a #$%&. Just
ignore any post he or any other member of the Circus makes that looks
like it might be an attempt at igniting another round of the
aforementioned Circus.
BTW: I give this thread a 95% likelihood of becoming another episode
of the Snit Circus, and when that happens, I will turn my back and
walk away from it - figuratively speaking.

Yeah, had I just not responded to Tim's trolling that thread would have died
long ago. The fact is, however, that he still does not accept that this
error message pops up when you try to create two users with the same short
name:
