It's really too bad UseNet doesn't have the capability of preventing
trolls like these from seeing your posts. YouTube has implemented such a
system, it works wonderfully. And if Google can think of it, you would
think that UseNet could have it. It's a great way to weed out the
trolls. If the troll doesn't like what it sees, it doesn't see it
anymore!

For that reason alone, for general discussion YouTube has displaced
UseNet for me. I would consider using Google Groups if it did the same.
But the last time I checked, just finding an appropriate group was a
difficult task. Reminiscent of when Google first took over UseNet and
the search results no longer included the most pertinent groups list.

And here's the other most persistent troll from the homebuilt PC
group...
