Hi All,
theres getting to be too much cross posting crap of little interest to
me in OZ, so can anyone recommend a kill file program that works with
Firefox - hopefully with simple instructions.... Andrew VK3BFA.
As pointed out, you seem to be using Google Groups. Setting up a kill
file is a function of the newsreader that you use, and I honestly don't
know if Google Groups provides that feature.
If your ISP gives you access to newsgroups you can read them with
Thunderbird, Pan, Agent, or any number of other readers -- I prefer Pan,
Thunderbird is not too bad, Microsoft Outlook Express used to work nice,
and I don't have experience with anything else, really.
