    Exactly. The shitshow IS the point. There are pranksters out there who
    revel in this kind of stunt.

    What do…
    Newsgroups:
    misc.phone.mobile.iphone,talk.politics.guns,comp.os.linux.advocacy
    ,alt.atheism
    … have in common? The answer is practically NOTHING.

    People, trim your Newsgroups header. If you really want to engage with
    the Faux News lunatic fringe, at the very least, remove misc.phone.mobile.iphone from your Newsgroups header, and subscribe to
    one of those other groups..

    If you can't see the Newsgroups header, learn how to make it visible.

    If you don't know how to edit the Newsgroups header, learn how.

    This old man came here to learn about the workings of the iPhone his
    daughter gave him for Christmas.

    Me too, except wife got it for me last summer.

    But it's hard to learn anything here, because this group is
    mostly about endless quarreling over minuscule apple related
    tidbits. Once in a while, you get lucky though.

    There has always been plenty shit slinging and sewage here
    without help from other groups :)

    Even the apple apologists frequently quarrel with each other. I
    don't know why apple is so damn contentious.

    I do not see these postings and threads. The most powerful filter being
    my Blacklist of X-posting groups containing talk.politics.guns,comp.os.linux.advocacy,alt.atheism and some more like
    the popular one with these idiots and trolls alt.fan.rush-limbaugh.

    I see this traffic only in my log-files.
    Best is to ignore them and not feeding them under any circumstances.
