posts by keywords in the Subject or Body fields.
Unfortunately, some people are enthused about
discussing someone who happens to have a surname
similar to certain types of plants. (Note that I
decline to discuss any intelligence or morality

There are thousands of separate newsgroups, carefully
sorted into different subjects.

When I read rec.gardens and rec.gardens.edible I am
looking for discussion on (drum roll please) gardening.

If I wanted to read discussion and debates about which
criminals are running which gubmint in which country, I
would go to newsgroups where those topics were actually
relevant.

Perhaps certain people could start placing some warning
keyword in the Subject line of their non-gardening
posts. Then, folks interested in gardening could
filter out the non-interesting debates.

Thank you.

Obsessive compulsives should stay away from newsgroups because there is no
way they can control them.

If you want to avoid seeing any posts on politics, you should try living in
a hole in the ground in the dark.

Can my hole in the dark be in Costa Rica on a mountain with lovely waterfalls
and orchids growing in the parrot filled trees? I know someone who is moving
down there, bought the land and plans to grow vanilla on the property. I cannot
wait to see how that works out for my friend. Sounds like my kind of hole.

If you'd like, I could forward you some e-mail on this. For the last
couple weeks, at least twice a day, I get spam titled "Costa Rica Real
Estate". I've never read them, but if you'd like a copy, I'm sure we
could find a way to get your name on their list.

I agree I'd be nice if you could automate the filtering things you're not
interested in, but that would require a modicum of courtesy and I think
most people are content to do it manually.

You must be a flagrant newbie if you didn't know that.
