Nothing at all Tom, just as it has little relevance to many of the
groups to which it is cross posted.

Of course the problem could be alleviated if everyone replying
to the guy removed all the irrelevant groups from the cross-post
first. It is easier for me to remember to do this than most people
because google groups never allows me to post to more than 5
groups at a time.

*However, Pete is so desperate for
attention that he always cross posts to at least six groups.

Why does he post to small groups instead of large ones if
that is his motivation?

*In
addition, he frequently nymshifts in attempts to avoid the kill filters.

If they don't want to read his posts he should respect that...

By all means discuss this in the fullest possible detail in the vegan, veggie, environmentally aware landfill sites,
methane and related gases and such focussed groups but please don't dump
this rubbish in the British birdwatching group. After all you have
around 60,000 other newsgroups to choose.

Pete just does not care.

Hopefully an ill controlled rant will not ensue.

Pete probably hopes that it will.

And I know I'm crossposting. Irritating isn't it!

Indeed but, as I have said, Pete does not care.
