It's not your server. There are a great number of idiots that use this
group for their political arguements

I took about fifteen minutes to filter all of them and now I see very
little.


As far as I can tell from the number of your useful posts here, you
contribute less than you see.

If there are 150 new message, by time my kill file gets done with them, I
get about 50. That is really a shame because once in a while someone that I
have in my kill file posts some worth while to boating.

I filtered headers with a dozen or two key words and about 25 of the
fools who feel they just can't hold a discussion with a politics
newsgroup, so they argue here. It's sad because there are actually a
few who know boats (and many more who don't) who could be interesting to
read, but they just can't control themselves.

Once you get rid of them, it's not a bad group.

It's the group. It's been like this ever since I first discovered it almost 10
years ago.

To paraphrase the song, "filter once, filter twice, filter once again."
