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!

If it does what he says it does, it certainly cannot just work with the

Note that the opinions I have of how he is working are based on a
couple of quick notes and an understanding of how "similar" systems
work... I could be wrong, but I will tell you this much. If I were
Gene, I wouldn't say too much about what is going on back there. Spam,
trolling, etc. are one of the biggest costs a server admin takes on. I
would have to guess than nearly 25% of our peers resources and time go
into fighting the scourge.. If you find something that works, the last
thing you want to do is tip off the offenders as to how you are doing
it, and where to start attacking it...
