Real kill filters. Hit the "Kill" button and the offender's computer explodes. Make it open hunting season on trolls year round, with no daily limit on kills.

Arrest spammers, process and can them, then ship THAT spam to a third world county, where that can at least do a little good for the world.

I don't suppose that you have tried a sizlaki(?) pair?

Yes. 'Sziklai' 'twas the first port of call. Using 4GHz transistors got ... NPN PNP pair ran to 80MHz with an unusable 160 degs of phase shift.

2N3819 Fet and PNP pair , to 32MHz with 155 degs shift. Also ... A standard cascode pair gave 55MHz and 150 degrees A Shunt-series pair, gave 55MHz with a useable 138 degs phase shift. Best by far was just a plain ol' differential pair, giving 82MHz and a miserly 125 degrees of shift!. I might tweek the diff pair. Or better still, (seeing as a customer isn't paying for it) just alter my goalposts :) john
