Is there a newsreader that allows you to automatically delete all
crossposted messages? It isn't possible in Outlook Express. That would get
rid of most of the off topic troll rubbish.

I can kill crossposts in Turnpike - I can automatically not download
posts crossposted to more than 1,2,3 ... groups

Robert, is it possible to use Turnpike without subscribing to Demon?

Yes - I left Demon after one of their more momentous failures towards
the end of the last century. You would need to buy a 'universal
licence' from Demon. There is a support newsgroup which still exists -
demon.ip.support.turpike - which may be worth having a look at. There
used to be a few quite helpful types who could advise on the more
eccentric aspects of TP.

Right, I will buy the Universal licence as I quite like Turnpike, it's
better than Googling!!! The problem will be installing it, I always
have a problem with installing anything and usually go off in a huff
after kicking the computer a few times.

I like the "Remove Thread" or ""Don't download any more articles from

I will have to make an effort to get to grips with installing
Turnpike.

Hey, it's not that bad :-)

The current version is 6.06, it doesn't work properly on Vista, in case
that's a consideration (there is an as yet non public version that
apparently does)

A bit of a side track. I know how to kill file but is there the opposite?
Can I highlight messages from posters who are good!
It depends on what you use to read Usenet, in some you can yes. Looking at
the headers of your message you are using Mozilla? I'm not sure if you can
when you use that but you certainly can in outlook express.

I have use* the wonderful steam powered Turnpike - it allows me to set a
limit on the number of cross posts and anything which hits the limit
e.g. 3 newsgroups, is flagged as 'uninteresting' (recently I have set it
to 2).
* I have tried Agent, Gemini, TB and even OE, but always reverted to

That explains why you're such a dick!

Only if you're desperate.

Yes. You have to buy a license for it.

Hi

I am Mark, live in Norfolk, new to this Newsgroup.

Can't help noticing that the posts are diluted by cross posting trolls
on non gardening matters.
To save me time who are the names to 'block'. Just incase I accidently
read their crap.
Jim Webster you have been evicted! see, I've made a start already!

Will return only on gardening matters.

Hello...Mark....I don't belong to this group..I mainly post in 'Seniors'
Groups...I may drop in sometime as this looks a good group..EXCEPT for the
Trolling X-Posters...

Now why I have identified myself is just for that reason..X-Posting
Trolls...If you look into Aunt Sally (Who I wouldn't know from Adam ..in
this case Eve with a name like Sally ) "1918 virus WAS bird flu..."...You
will notice that I have also X-Posted as well !!..It is a practice I never
do, unless someone (followed by many others) X-Posts to one of my
groups...It does not help if I don't X-Post back ..minus my group....In
this case ,I am from... uk.people.silversurfers.... I wanted all to see that
we DO NOT appreciate X-Posters in the group....

So if you see my name their, Please don't kill-file me as I may want to come
in and join here sometime :-))

By the way, I come from Sydney, Australia... I am a widower (67) and have 3
kids and 4 Grandkids.(God's Gifts)....

Enjoy the group, Mark and others regulars here :-)

I don't think we really care who you are you silly old fart, actions
speak louder than words, and your irrelevant crossposting, netkopping
marks you as an arsehole!
