I did use a bolt on piece of software to do this for a while but
it slowed downloads to a snails pace and some crossposts are
valid, so I now just block the loony threads as they come up. Its
easier and quicker.

I use NetProxy/NewsProxy. It's a bit tricky to set up initially but you can
define rules to block posts which are crossposted etc. The only problem is
when some helpful sole replies to the message without crossposting it at
which point you pick up the thread and all the rubbish in it.

That sounds a good idea Jay until someone crossposts, and I've done it, to
two or three Ng's where the question/answer is relevant and valid on every
one and the topic needs opening up to others beside Gardeners for a better
understanding.

By blocking crossposts you could miss something good.

Although if you were to stop crossposts to ,say, more than five Ng's you
might kill the rubbish without loosing the good stuff. I just ignore the
rubbish (unless I want to draw the troll out from under their bridge).

I haven't had OE on any of my boxen since I heaved it out from Win 3.11,
so if you're going to continue using it, no.

However, have a look at www.zetnet.com and if you want to come and play
with ZIMACS as your mail/news client, yes I can.

Which software do you use to access the internet?
If it is Outlook Express, look in the grey rectangle above the message, in
the line saying "Newsgroups"

In Outlook :
- hit 'reply group'
- remove de names of the groups you don't want to reply to in the 'newsgroups'
box at the top of your screen
- leave uk.rec.gardening only :~))
