Gentlemen,

If you wish to debate endlessly, could you find a more appropriate
newsgroup? If your conversation consisted of 20 posts, it would be

within reason for an OT series, but these have gone on for more
than
1000. Find yourselves a better home. Please.

I've started using the 'Auto-Kill Thread' option on my news reader a
lot
recently. All this does is stop the particular (off-topic) thread
ever
appearing again in my news reader window, works a treat! Stops people
having to post complaints about long threads as well - hopefully...
;-)

...and less draconian than setting up an intricate Kill File - though
I
do use one of those as well.

It's a simple key-combination on my particular reader / computer.

That is another reason why it is good for the OT stuff to stay on a
couple threads, and not matastisize to all! IMO TnT
