Those Posts On That Subject
Ususally, I just try to filter out off-topic newsgroup
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 similarities.) 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.

OR, and here's a novel idea, you can stop trying to control people and you would
follow your own advice and stop posting off topic posts, marked or not.

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. "escape" wrote in message ...

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.

Can my hole in the dark be in Costa Rica... 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. |

You must be a flagrant newbie if you didn't know that. Why don't you go off to your same-sex life-partner doily-making overly hyphenated forum and complain about that? "someone" wrote in message ...

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. |
