Is it filled to the brim with crud from some guy named Jerry (I think?). I
used to read the APBT group for awhile, and he'd spew his nonsense and
respond to everything he could in order to push his training method.

I eventually gave up.

Yep, some of the smaller newsgroups can easily be ruined by a single person.
There is (was) a group called alt.culture.ny-upstate that sounded
interesting to me when I lived in upstate New York. Rendered utterly useless
by one (possibly two but I doubt it) individual posting under a variety of
names.

It amazes me how easy it really is to bring down a newsgroup with a few
well placed trolls... Or when the alt.fan.karl-maldens-nose crew decides
to start a cascade through your group.
