(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. -- Cheers, Harvey |

But, how do you set up your newsreader to stop multiple newsgroups being displayed. I'm using OE6 Alan -- Cheers, Harvey |

(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". -- Cheers, Harvey |

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!) mioke |
