Because it's a relatively active unmoderated newsgroup?

It's the Willie Sutton effect. Sutton, a bank robber, was asked
why he robbed banks; "Because that's where the money is," he replied.

The topic of this newsgroup shouldn't attract them much.

Take a guess at how much troll traffic rec.food.cuisine.jewish would
get if it weren't moderated.

I bet you understand why they created it as a moderated newsgroup.

Duh indeed!

Chuck,
The guy you responded to is a troll. Please stop answering him and maybe
he'll go away.
