 I subscribe to this newsgroup, then usually junk all articles without
reading, to de-yadify the rest of Usenet and because this newsgroup's
regulars spend more time troll feeding yads than posting on Doctor Who.
This is one of Usenet's worst newsgroups for off-topic crap.
 Of course, if you truly wanted to read on topic content, you yourself
would have to regularly post quite a bit of it yourself and hope on
topic threads would result. As you're unwilling to do that yourself,
then you contribute to the problem you've identified.
 Since I personally despise all of this newsgroup's regulars for the
nonstop troll feeding of yads (and previously, of Tim), I will continue
to subscribe simply as a method of cleaning out the unwanted crossposts
from newsgroups I care about.

How in Hell does your reading garbage HERE stop that same garbage being cross-posted elsewhere??
Sure, by removing all the cross-posted groups, you can stop your post and any replies to your post from being cross-posted from here to kingdom-come.... but that doesn't stop anybody else replying to the same posts as you but not removing all the cross-posts ... so their post still gets posted into the other newsgroups.
I would have thought you would have understood that!!
