   I do the same.  In fact, I've set up a couple of yahoo groups to substitute   
   for usenet groups.  Although the groups are open, I watch carefully for   
   trolls and potential spammers.  With some proven trolls, one must trace down   
   as many online aliases as possible to ensure that they don't come back in   
   another guise.
