...Done and done. I've killfiled anything that's being crossposted
from a.d.a, and made sure all the Maxson trash is snug and tucked into
their spiked beds down in Killfile Hell where they belong. The sooner
everyone else does this, the better off we'll all be.


I wish I had a nickel for every time you've posted to remind us you've
killfiled the Maxons...

OM, each Maxson post seems to generate five from you (I figure you
reply once to each Maxson post, and then get into a one or two-post
exchange with others who respond to either the Maxsons or to you).
Killfiling the Maxsons thus reduces the noise level by only 20%, at
most. After what? six or seven years? I'm now placing you in my own
killfile for a couple of weeks just to see what happens.

Hmm... Let me work the numbers a little bit:

Case 1
1 Maxson post
1 OM reply to Maxson
1 reply to the Maxson post by "Other"
1 OM response to Other, telling him to killfile Maxson

So, killfiling Maxson, alone, cuts the noise by 25%; killfiling OM
cuts it by a further 50%.

Case 2 (OM really does have Maxson killfiled and can't respond
directly)
1 Maxson Post
1 "Other" reply
1 OM response to Other

Killfiling Maxson and OM cuts the noise by ~33%, each.

Case 3 (OM again has Maxson killfiled)
1 Maxson post
2 Other replies
2 OM responses to Other

Here, killfiling Maxson will reduce the noise by 20%, but killfiling
OM, AND OM ALONE, would reduce the noise by 40%.

So, by my back-of-the-envelope calculations, OM is solely responsible
for anywhere between 33% and 50% of all noise generated by a single
Maxson post. What's more, OM's percentage rises considerably for
those of us who already have Maxson filtered. In *this* case, OM's
numbers are ~66%, 50% and 50%, respectively, while Maxson is 0%.

So, what would make the most sense by the numbers?

OM getting a fscking clue and realizing his flamethrower tactics don't do
squat? No, that's being nice. The flamethrower is an obvious and
demonstrable 50,000 watt PA. That sure as **** ain't part of the solution.
