Does anybody want to help out by replying to every Re: HOW DID HOWARD WIN??
BY BRIBING THE ELECTORATE!!!!!! ,but first removing all the cross-posting so
it only goes to aus.politics where it belongs. I have already replied to a
few myself in this way, this should help speed the removal of this thread.

Only if they reply to your posts. Best thing to do is ignore/killfile and
move on.

Yes, I know. You asked the question, I answered it - I didn't give any

Better yet, set up a filter to delete any posts that include newsgroups
