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!

Not to worry. Beta is going fine and I'll soon offer a "crap free"

to continue to post crap and swear they are trying to "clean up" the
newsgroup.
Gene,
I am curious when you open your server will you allow people access to
your server whose sole purpose of reading rec.boats is to observe and
comment about "rec.boats" being flushed down the toilet, then spend 90%
of their time talking about the Seven Little Schitts? It seems that
that would be counterproductive to your reason for starting a "filtered
server".
Sure! The funny thing is.... they can post their patooties off and the
posts will propagate to all servers.... they will just be filtered
from *my* server. So..... if you are getting headers from my server,
their posts will not be available.
The ones that honestly want to end that sort of repartee will be the
ones that choose either to (1) ignore them or (2) download headers
from my server and, thus, not be *tempted*.

I don't know if you've ever tried SpamBayes as an email filter. I've been
using it for about a year now and find it works very well with Outlook. I
see from their website versions for other email clients are available. It
won't work for Usenet, but for email it's the cats meow.

I will ask the tech but like I said, as it is now I might get two a
day on a email that has propagated for nearly a decade and a half. We
run our Spam Assasin (with custom modules) on all of our servers
globally for our customers so they really don't have a lot to worry
about either, but if any of our clients have other off site domains
they may be interested. I wonder if they sell a server version.. humm.
I will check it out though, 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.
