It would appear that a small group of posters in uk.local.essx have
started their own "closed" newsgroup. 

A person who claims to be "Diana" 
is the one to contact. If it is her she gave this instruction to those
interested, (If its a spoof my apologies all round)

"If you can put Essx in the subject line and send it to 
diana<at>attwooddesignsdotcodotuk so I can filter it away
from my work email."

Is this the sign of the times or just the outcome of someone in their
newsgroup taking on a troll and losing. Whatever, contact the address
given, which I have posted here in good faith, and see how its done.

Kill a troll a day.
