Pretty much the only thing that works in an open group is to model the
behaviour you'd like to see. Telling everyone else what you'd like them
to do is very unlikely to work.

So,

a. Get a real new reader and a feed (I use Eternal September) so you can
simply filter Peter Olcott's posts out. You won't see them, and your
life will be immediately improved.

b. Post interesting technical material yourself, either as head posts or
as follow-ups. With interesting things to talk about, people won't
want to waste time with cranks like PO.

The trouble is a lot of your recent posts have been incomprehensible (to
me, I mean) and appear to have no technical material. They certainly
don't have any technical material that I could possible talk about.

I'd like to hear about your approach to Boolean satisfaction and/or your
work on string matching, but I've never been able to get started talking
about these things with you because your threads all seem to spiral off
into disordered and apparently unconnected thoughts.

If you have a published paper on either of these topics, that would be
an excellent place to start. Published papers have to be clear and
self-contained or they don't get published. I'd gladly read and discuss
such a paper with you.
