September 1 to March 16: +/- 20,103 posts.

Filtering at 65+ lines didn't catch many. Changing to 49+ lines
dropped nonsense to 12,826 messages.

For those using Agent, it does allow one to sort by number of lines so
the short messages are together to highlight and delete. Obviously,
this is going to catch many useful posts.


Whilst appearances may occasionally suggest otherwise, newsgroup flooding is
done by intelligent computer-savvy people who are perfectly capable of
reading your post!


And your point is what? Don't you think the "intelligent
computer-savvy people" already know all the tricks one uses to filter
them?
