Disfunctional? Not at all. We talk about skiing
and ignore the disfunction.

Some blame the Troubles of 1999, but even before then there was a lot
of non-skiing banter among frequent posters.

Especially in Summer.

Right. For one thing, there are far more disfunctional newsgroups.
Point yer reader over to alt.usenet.kooks and browse the crossposted
groups - makes rsa seem like a meeting of the Rotary Club.

For another thing, there's a fairly functional ski discussion group here
that becomes readily apparent with the application of about a dozen kill
filters. Simple problem, simple solution.

Ask Scott Abraham.

No, don't bother. He'll just say, "You are insane. Get help."

still on Google Groups?

He was never really that useful. He still can't ski, never gave any
information that you couldn't get from a road atlas. We more tolerated
him as you would any, loud, socially inept, semi-retarded person you
might come into contact with. Just trying to be civil really. Many of
us had seen through him way before "the troubles" hit the fan. I don't
think he snapped as much as his schtick just changed as he realized
the jig was up.

For example he gave me a box of toothpicks once as though it were a
cool gift ????????????
