This used to be such a great newsgroup. Returning after a few years, I see
mostly politics and nonsense. Other than blocking the original posters (who
change their email address often), anyone know how to filter out the goofy
stuff?

Killfile the senders anyway. Some nymshift, some stay put and haven't
written a single post on metalworking ever, yet persist in crossposting
here. Others throw in an occasional metalworking post, but spew too much
crap to stay out of the killfile, as their overall contribution is
negative.

Pick words to killfile on. Obama, bush, cheney, palin, perry, jesus,
amendment, bible, tea, conservative, liberal, tax - these are not
metalworking. As new ones show up, add them.

The ones that self-identify as OffTopic -
Kill "starts with" OT and OT

The ones that are flaming crossposts, kill any post with any of the
irrelevant groups in the newsgroups line (some newsreaders you can also
kill by number of groups crossposted to - more than 2 or 3 is nearly
always junk.)

Please don't feed the trolls. Killfile and ignore them so they will go away.
