Yes.
Post by flibbertigibbetwondering how to go about making a filter to avoid them cluttering up my
favourite newsgroups.
Others have already told you how, but let me point out that doing that
is a bad mistake in almost every newsgroup. Yes, doing so will filter
out a lot of the nonsense posts, but it will also filter out a lot of
the useful, good posts. I strongly recommend against it.
Right. That's a good point you're making there. And because adding
those filter suggestions by Ralph and KenW (above) hasn't removed
the posters' I want I'm going to allow Google Groups back. Thanks.
Now, on to my next query, if you'll allow, I've noticed that the posters
I want to filter out cross post to a lot of groups to aggravate as many
Usenetters as they can. Is there a filter you know of that can filter out
posts that have been cross posted to more than 2 or more groups?
That would be another way of getting where I want.
