How does one cope with the volume in this group? I mean, I read
alt.paranormal occassionally for amusement, and usually do not believe
anything posted there, so you could call me a skeptic. But I started
to read this group the other day, and zapped all the unread messages.
The next day, the unread count was up to 300 messages!

Even this very morning, I zapped those 300 messages, turned around,
and there were 3 more. There are new messages every few minutes.

I am very skeptical that anybody reads all these messages. 8^)

Just imagine the feast that we would have if Rober McElwaine, the
person most responsible for downgrading the value of my B.Sc.,
(B.Sc from which university ??) started posting to this group!!
