news alert to pet owners of course. But please do not post about dogs here.

Seeing as I have just posted something about my dog...

I don't think *any* posting about a dog is irrelevant. I had mentioned a
specific experience involving my dog that was directly related to the
question being asked. One could easily substitute 'cat' for 'dog' in my
post and the experience could still apply.

A newsgroup that only sticks to the topic of that group is very rare. It's
a good thing you're not part of rec.food.cooking. There are days when maybe
only 50% of the posts (if that) are on-topic so you would probably find it
very frustrating. Plus you'd have been flamed for the rest of your rfc life
for suggesting they change :-). (I do love rfc, though.)

Sometimes someone here will incl. a post about dogs - for a good reason.
But then there's the (idiot) Puppywizard who x-posts like crazy from the dog
ngs, & replies to him are also x-posted. Putting them in your killfile
should help.

Sorry, if you're talking about my post (Horrible News on the Homefront).
Just wanted to point out yet another sicko in our society. Like most
here don't already know!

You'd be complaining about the poster "The Puppy Wizard".

That poster *must* be posting from the insane asylum... I don't know how
anyone else could possibly carry on like that.

Best policy is to not pay any attention to the troll... don't feed it...
don't stroke it... don't chastize it.

Ignore it... and eventually it will see it is not getting any attention
and will seek it elsewhere.
