This NG is buried in spam now, a real pain when you want to relax & read

Download and install a copy of NewsProxy, a.k.a. Nfilter, from
http://www.nfilter.org and configure the filters to drop all posts coming from
GoogleGroups, except for those from a few selected regulars here.

Filter rules to do exactly that are as follows:

rec.woodworking flag: from:charliediy|htroberts|dalemartin
rec.woodworking flag: from:[Jj]akofalltrades|fredfighter
* drop message-id:googlegroups
