Default 80% of the last postings were off topic!

Use a kill file.

I kill anybody who regularly posts OT, and anybody who regularly responds to
them. I also kill subject headers that contain keywords, such as Busch,
democrat, republican, war, ect. I also kill trolls, and the people that feed
them.

Some people may argue that I'm losing a lot of boating related posts,
because some of the folks in my kill file, do in fact contribute good
boating information to the group on occasion. To that I say "tough s**t to
them". If they want to be heard, then post on topic, otherwise, I don't care
if I ever hear from them again.

It is not uncommon for me to have 400 unread posts, and only have 80 or so
after my kill file and filters go to work...and I love it to death...I get
100% boating related posts.

The more people that kill file these clowns, the less audience they will
have, and the *will* go away, but only if everybody does it.

Good luck.
