Henry is alive and well and posts regularly to the arocket e-mail
list. I know, e-mail lists are antiquated, but they have several
advantages. One of which is you can ban trouble makers very easily,
which greatly increases the signal to noise ratio.

The only way I keep the signal to noise ratio down in the sci.space
groups is a liberal use of a killfile.

Another kook filter is to restrict messages cross-posted to more than
three newsgroups. Many such folk seem compelled to spew their dreck
as widely as possible, and most replies don't trim out irrelevant
groups, so I get to miss a lot of nonsense.

Killfiles, regularly maintained, mop up most of the rest...
