At least, I feel we would benefit for a separate place for all the
political discussions! They are out of place here, I feel.

Amen!

So many folks have left because of the spam. These endless political
discussions will drive more away!

I tried the Yahoo group- wasn't to satisfied, so I came back. But the
group sure isn't what it used to be.

On the positive side--
Threads like the current (eternal?) "the value of..." thread give an
excellent chance to evaluate the real knowledge vs. the oes who can only
take the "somebody said..." approach and can be profitably used to fill
a killfile.

Seems like you both are still discussing politics.

Why not just post something about digital photography?

Why not just ignore the headers you're not interested in and not
open the connected threads, as we do for any other subject here?
Simple, huh? ;-)

All very well, but a first time visitor would prefer to see photographic
discussions. There's plenty new to talk about with DSLRs now having video
capability, and Leica having an M9. Perhaps those who dump political
garbage on us do more harm than the anti-DSLR or anti-P&S trolls?

I know where you are coming from and appreciate your intent ... but, it is a
fact of life that the signal to noise ratio continues to decline on the
Internet (in almost all of its offerings). We are the filters and must
learn to deal with (ignore) the noise.

Oh, BTW, "Don't feed the trolls" is still a workable idea.

Along with ignoring the pests.

But rpd is way better off on the S-N ratio than it was a few years ago.
Both have dropped a lot, though, and my news provider filters a lot.

I am using News Proxy to filter the basic garbage and additional filters to
block the obvious idiots.

We could ban Americans. They are the main culprits. It is usually local
US politics that come up and this is an international group.
