Some of us just have a full-time 'tude and make technical posts
regardless of other threads. As opposed to stopping everything to
focus on just them. If you ignore them they will go away.

SVLUG? The only time I leave lists is when there is a person who
continues to give out bad technical information and is too prideful
to admit it, only leading down to further discussion like how "PKZip
is more ubiquitous than Tar for UNIX backup" and "Samba should
always be used over NFS for UNIX file sharing because it is more
secure." Both statements are not only dead wrong, but are not the
proper utility for the purpose.
