Apparently you just want to argue. All Moe was indicating, is the
usual subject matter experts who are normally busy people have little
time to waste time wading through the google spews. They just add google to
the kill file and be done with it.

Yep, you are trolling for an argument. google part of this thread
is about subject matter experts scoring google as -9999

Just more argument crap. The great majority of people do not post I am
killing google posts when they add it to their score file.

There is absolutely no correlation with "many, many years" and why
people are filtering out google posts at this time.

More argumentative misdirection crap. My reason given was all about
Usenet abuse and getting the offender terminated. Nothing was said
about "anonymous speech".

More argumentative misdirection crap. Nothing was said about "allowing
anonymous speech"

google continues to let the abuse flourish, more people kill file google posts.

Ah, final wrap up of misdirection crap with additional flame bait.
It has no bearing on kill filing google posts because of google
refusals to kill spewing accounts.

It was fun playing but I see it is a waste of time.

You have a good day.
