Can't the Posts here be limited to just "home repair" ?

You may reduce much of the clutter.

Thunderbird (you are using it):

select offending message.

clic the *Message* menu and
select *Create Filter From Message...*

in the box that opens:

give a name to the filter (example: Noise Filter)

clic "OK" to close the box.

at the bottom of the "Message Filters" list you
should find a "Run Now" button: click on it.

to close the list, click on the top-right corner "x".


To add the next offender, click on the unwanted message,
then clic on the *More* menu in the Text body and select
"View Source". Search for the "From:" field and
select/copy the string between "" and "" symbols.
(without the and ).

click on the *Tools* menu and
select *Message Filters*

select the filter you name (i.e. Noise Filter).
if it is the first time, it is the only name.

clic on *Edit*

in the "Match" field select the
"Match any of the following" button.

clic on the "+" button.

paste the copied string in the added row empty field.


You won't catch the morphers, but still get rid of
a large bunch of messages.
