Can I post some of my observations about your system here, or do you
want to save that for later...?
Feel free..... maybe others will be interested....
Gene, you have your own NNTP server?


Yes....

Can we all try it?


That is my intent, for all those really interested in less noise.



Gene: will your server filter out all the trash, including discussions
of golf, motor homes, grandchildren, guitars, et cetera? I guess what I
am asking is, what topics will be filtered? And does your server read
the posts, or just the headers?

Thanks!





Harry,
Yes, the server is set up to remove all off topic discussion except for
daily updates on all UPS shipments going to your house, all references
to what a great marksman you are, photos of Stumpy etc, photos of what
Harry Krause has on his IPOD etc. You know, it removes all off topic
discussions except those that are originated by Harry Krause.
