Even better -- if you can -- set your newsreader to blank out anything
that's crossposted to more than 3 or 4 groups, maximum. (If one
doesn't see them, there's no temptation at all to reply.)

FWIW, even 3 cross-posts is generous: I've found that anything cross-
posted to more than 2 groups is generally tripe.

But, how do you set up your newsreader to stop multiple newsgroups being
displayed.

I'm using OE6

Ah: dunno. Apologies.

(I use XNews, which has it as one of the set-up options -- that's why I
included the "if you can", as I'm not familiar with the set-up options
of other news readers.)

I hope someone who uses OE can help on this -- I find it's an excellent
way to cut down newsgroup "noise".

I absolutely agree, If your newsreader won't do it, get one that will,
there's some good free ones (but none as good as xnews!)
