Dealing with Chambers is easy - people like that infest most of
usenet. If you have killfiles, *plonk*. Even if you don't have
a newsreader with killfiles, you don't *have* to read a post when
you see who it is from. His posts don't change, just the people
he chooses to insult - why keep reading? Nobody makes you read
every post.
On any newsgroup with a person like that, I just ignore any thread
from the moment they post to it (Terry Austin is a prime example on
some other groups I read) - all posts to that thread after the person
in question has posted are contaminated and will contain no useful
information. I have more important stuff to read. Usenet is much
more of a joy these days.
