In Thunderbird it is trivial to make a thread vanish by hitting K (although you have to move to another NG and back to make it disappear). Certain posters get an automatic "K" from me. You can also set up a killfile in most newsreaders. Please come back, though. The number of good, genuine DIY posters is falling off. |

Do you not have any filter you can apply?
Its not rocket science and even in groups where their are no polly ticks, subject drift does occur. One good thing about usenet is that its text based and so even quite long uninteresting messages take up little room at all. If you want to go down the route of a moderated group, those can be very tiresome as often the people doing the moderation become power crazed and only post stuff they agree with and often take days to let it onto the group in any case.

One good thing about usenet is that its text based and so even quite long uninteresting messages take up little room at all. Like John, I skip all the political threads and if I come across a reply where the quoted text completely fills the screen with no sign of the start actual reply, that gets skipped as well. That is a problem which seems to be on the increase and is often repeated through a sequence on 'non' replies. -- Terry --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
