Absolutely they are, yes. Unlike much of the material which is posted
here. In fact, as newsgroups go, this probably has one of the best s/n
ratios of any advocacy group in history presently, due to the great work
of Roy S and others.
If anyone doesn't like it, they can use a filter, Roy has been kind
enough to mark each subject line in such a way that killfiling is
triviality itself.
Perhaps, if anyone wants a digest, it could be posted weekly or daily,
as a sum-up of all the [NEWS] postings? That way, those that want a
digest could have one, and those of us (me included) who want the
articles posted individually so that we can use our newsreaders to
select what to respond to, can do so.
Clearly, a digest format alone would prevent the creation of threads
based on the articles themselves, which I suspect might be one reason
why the trolls would like to see them go.

Or perhaps use a newsreader which is of poor quality, such as Outlook?

Your reasoning powers are good, and you are a fairly good planner.
