Your points and observations are valid, and in fact many others have
independantly come to the same conclusions.  What you need to do is block
the posts of the handful of cranks that seek to poison the well.  Whatever
newsreader you're using probably has a way to selectively block posts. For
example, using Outlook Express that comes with IE 5, simply select a post
from an offender, say Quantum_Crap, click "Message" at the top of the
screen, and then "Block Sender".  It's that simple!  As you noted, these
losers feed on the attention they get from disrupting CSA2. Block them and
they will go away.
