ISTM the problem is how to filter out the annoying posters while allowing the ones that make a reasonable attempt to fit in. A wholesale blackholing of posts from the website is *a* solution, but not a good one as some folks who make an effort will get dumped. The best, easiest solution, would be to get the forum hosters to tweak the forum software so that it puts the subject and context in place automatically for the poster. They seem to be generally unresponsive over there though. A
