Similar here except I mark the uninteresting and hijacked threads
"Ignore". Saves the time of skipping them again on future header
downloads.

Maybe you all need better newsreader software?

Define "better". I've tried quite a few (including T'bird) and
haven't found anything faster, more stable, less bloated, more
configurable, etc than Agent for non-binary newsgroups. Granted, it
has a longer/taller learning curve than most.

Well, those whose software makes Usenet easy, even with the inevitable
trolls and spam don't need better software. Sounds like you're in that boat!

You kill the whole thread??
There's gotta be a better way. When a troll see this, you know he's
gonna be tempted to reply here... and he won't even have to say
anything, just click the Reply button to kill your thread.

My experience is that there are so many people who (for what ever
reason) just can't NOT reply to a troll that the threads are unreadable
anyway. Of course, this seems to depend on the troll. Jax will create a
few flames so I just killfile him and ignore the noise. Neal triggers so
much disruption that it poisons the thread. It's the same deal with with
these anon-remailer-crosspost folks. They rarely start threads here.

Poor, poor little Cindy. It's plain she is anal retentive and sexually
unfulfilled.

Why don't you just come over to rec.boats and find out firsthand? Coward?
Afraid to see your Don White in action?

Are you on crack? I've been a regular in rec.boats for years. I've filtered out
most of the noisemakers, regardless of thier political leanings. People who
constantly **** and moan about others get evaporated. Sometimes, I'll set the
filter to expire after a penalty period. If the dope is still misbeaving, they
get the permanent royal flush.

Dope? Bwwwaahahhahahhahahahahh! There you go again Bobsprit.

Robert Brody is the only fool using the word "dope" in this day and
age. Do you enjoy being Mr. Mom? How's the little crumb snatcher?
