One of the unfortunate results of the internet cluster system are the idiots
who flood the system with semi flames, intentionally phony spots.
Mini announce/full firefights have become routine.
DX Net members who spot each and every net station.
But the worst are the lids using profanity in their firefights.
As far as I can tell from studying the three major Clusters softwares, there
is very little that can be done to filter these types of behaviour.
set/noannounce eliminates proper announcements.
even set/nodxdedx has it's disadvantages to some.
I can see no way around this problem without program specific filtering
options like you can set in your email client to bann spam.
Actually I think 'spam' is a good analogous term for this problem.
I never considedred myself thinskined, but I find some of the Cluster Crabs
to be ruining my enjoyment of the hobby.
Sorry, down from soapbox.
