Well, anybody who doesn't like Roy's posts can surely filter on [News], with
which Roy labels such postings of his?
- if they can and do, there's no complaint?
- if they can't, they need a better newsreader?
- if they can but don't, then presumably they like the posts either for
themselves or for the discussion that some of them generate.... which is
where Roy came in....?

Well, surely he could do better than that?
He should bunch together all those that don't get any comment, and keep the
others separate..................;-)
Myself, I love them on two counts. First, he saves me a whole lot of effort
- I always skim through them - and second, they really piss off the
trolls:-)
