I'm fed up with the trolls and signing off for a while.
I like to help out newbies and stuff, and I realize
we have a new crop of students showing up now,
but I just can't deal with this situation any longer.
I have a better idea and am going to work on that,
so that next season's crop will have a better alternative.

Not always, or at least not simply.
It's not so much the original messages, but the follow-ups that overwhelm you.

You need to be able to score down articles based on a message ID in
the references header.  Lose the fups that way.

Yeah, Gnus' scoring mechanism can be kind of slow ...
