If, so, what do you think of it? Useful or just a toy? Or both? Would you
do it again?

TIA

Yes, the shopping list feature is worth it alone

Alexa Echo is both a useful tool and a toy.

I was lucky enough to get an early beta Echo and have since purchased a second Echo.
Maybe Team Bezos will develop a POTS phone module for the Echo so Alexa can screen out the telescammers.

Conceptually, a great idea (I am doing something similar though more
comprehensive, here). In implementation, though, I would be concerned
that someone *outside* your home now knows everything about what
happens *inside* your home! And, this WITH your full consent!

Good point. Those of us who have trolls attached to our diddies need to
be aware of this before adapting this device to our lives.

Mesnews has a fairly good filter, and I have it setup so one poster
doesn't even show on My reader at all. I might try to get a few more I
don't want to see setup that way. :')

You can set up filters on a per group basis, too, so if you don't want
to see some threads or people on Group A, but don't care if you see it
on group B. I'm pretty sure you can set them up as entire server
filters, too.
