I don't quite agree. Yes there are lots of idiots there making idiotic
posts. In a decent newsreader (I use Agent) you can setup a killfile
or just tap the delete key a few times (then a few more sometimes).
There are a lot of good folks there as well as the loonies.

No more than any other newsgroup. Just filter them out - it's not very
difficult, and you're left with a much smaller but still useful source
of information.

That doesn't help the newbie trying to get a valid answer, especially
one that isn't even sure how they go into the newsgroup in the first place.

I wasn't addressing the question of how to get into a newsgroup, I was
addressing your comment.

If you are a newbie and want more information, I'll be happy to explain
it in more detail.
