This used to be such a great newsgroup. Returning after a few years, I

filter out the goofy stuff?

The last statistics report is disgraceful....


I use Outhouse Express , and I make generous use of the "block sender"
button . Easy and effective . Not only for the trolls , but also for
those who respond too often ...


Like -- me, unfortunately. But I'm trying to cut back!

If you block posts that include any group with the word "political" or
"survival" in their names, and if you block posts that are crossposted to
more than three groups, then you'll cut things down by 25 to 50%. Then
start in on the induhviduals that are left until things get better enough
to be bearable.
