You'll have to ask them... if they ever turn up again!

You reply to the nutters...

Why do you do it?

I don't have any pigeons!!! I do have crows around outside
(noisy bastards) but I try not to feed them.

I got some crows outside on occasion. I always wonder what I could put 
on the balcony to see them do clever tricks.

Got other birds too, they can be a bit vocal. (The crows don't give 
whole concerts, just the occasional, even rare, caw.)

I don't mind the entertainment. I use my filters and Bozo Bin to
block what I don't want to read.

That only works for the nutters, not those replying to them.

Plus, ironically enough, it's probably King Troll and his
tangents that have kept this place alive through the years
whilst other newsgroups died a death of silence. RADW is
actually quite an active Usenet newsgroup compared to a lot of
others about comparable niche TV shows.

Sad, if true.

There's no law that says you can't discuss other topics in a
newsgroup either, but convention is those threads should be
marked OT [off-topic] accordingly, so that people can skip those
threads should they choose to do so.

I don't mind off topic.

I don't like ever the same replies from ever the same people to the 
compulsory replying of one dude to every post and their kitchen sink, 
and that other nutter.

As if the whole group had a collective OCD. :P

It needs more new Doctor Who episodes to be talked about!

I'm not sure that really changes things.

This place is open all hours to discuss Doctor Who... 24/7 365
days a year. If people want to start discussions about the show,
nobody is stopping them. It can't be on one person to start
every conversation. If people want to change things all they
have to do is start talking about Doctor Who... somebody here
will then respond in kind.

That's not what I mean. More signal doesn't remove noise, noise still 
stays. :P

Just as well we're getting some soon, eh?

Hah.

Be careful what you wish for though... if Doctor Who takes a
turn for the worse with some poor stories and/or the ratings
tank in S15/S2 you might wish for some noise to deafen the
rabble!

Hah.

Ok, Doctor Who.

Some cheap stuff channel (free TV, they just show a lot of b-movies in 
the evening, and repeat various star trek series and similar stuff in 
the afternoon) now has Doctor Who! "New episodes!" they say. They 
started with some Tennant episode and continue from there...

I don't object. The more Doctor, the better, especially that one. But, 
new this is not. :) (Too bad they're showing them dubbed and no original 
on 2nd audio channel. I'd otherwise keep it running in the background.)
