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?

Maybe, but not if they are civil.

I guess what I
am asking is, what topics will be filtered?

Just the ones that people can't handle. Politics, for example. At this
point, I'm not really trying to determine acceptable subjects so much
as I am simple civility.

And does your server read
the posts, or just the headers?


Both.



Thanks...so when someone like Reggie makes continuously snarky remarks,
or if some remarks are reported to you, will you be able to filter them
or him ...out?

Serious question. I'm interested in the recognition patterns. Reggie
usually tries to veil his snot.
