Well, I guess the message here is that there is wheat among the chaff ... and
I agree. Any restriction on posting content will have a detrimental effect.
The best way to deal with content that is not interesting or relevant to you
is to ignore it or respond in a reasoned, constructive manner. We (well, at
least some of us) are beekeepers, either hobbyists or business people and
anything new, useful or interesting is probably useful.
