How do you add the newsgroups to a filter? I added newsgroups with
customize, but running the filter on the NG does not reduce the number
of posts. I do not care for stuff on various social or racial groups, or
conspiracies, etc.

NEWSGROUPS - CONTAINS - (name of NG you wish to filter on)

Perform these actions:

DELETE

This works for me. Of course, this does not actually delete these posts
from the net, it just prevents them from displaying. I have one filter
set up for cross posts, and two twit filters. I routinely see 4-500 new
messages when I start downloading headers, but usually end up with
anywhere from 25-100 posts.
