   Schwann and Bill Palmer are fairly well established Usenet   
   "personalities".   
      
   They post very openly and prolifically, sometimes without too much   
   concern for relevancy, though this IMHO isn't really much of worry.   
      
   I do find Bill however to be very, very boring.   
      
   Personally I kill all xposted articles anyway which cleans things up   
   quite considerably in groups like alt.cp.  I can't remember the last   
   time Bill Palmer posted a non xposted article to alt.cp, but I have had   
   him killfiled for several years now.  Schwann on the other hand has in   
   the past been more active in alt.cp and I am quite happy to read his non   
   xposted articles.   
      
   Its up to you at the end of the day, but I'd probably recommend that you   
   keep on 'Killing Bill'.
