Restraining Fist of Death.

[gridlore]

The level of idiocy on the Traveller Mailing List is about to push me out the door.

People whinging about their favorite edition of Traveller not being supported, even though it ceased publication in 1987, people whinging about not wanted to have to do any work to use game books, personal insults, complaints about "too many words" in posts explaining complex scientific concepts!

That, and movie reviews, game reviews, and all sorts of Off-Topic crap. A hell of a lot of this can be traced to one idiot.

I'm this close to being off a list I've been on since the first day I had Internet access, about ten years ago.

What is going to happen is I'm pulling back for a while. And I may killfile two certain idiots (Certain idiots? Yes, I'm quite certain they're idiots...)

Going to go take my aggravation out on a brownie. Fear for it.

I too got feed up with wading through loads of stuff I couldn't be bothered to read (especially now that I'm working 12 hour shifts at the factory). My solution was to filter the five worst producers of noise into a different folder. That way I can read the TML and get most of the signal (including replies to filtered emails) and get a good idea which threads I might want to save from the mighty "delete all emails in folder"-button. You might want to give it a try.
