[OT] Filtering uk.rec.drivel and uk.tosspot
Since it's silly season again with the uk.tosspot and uk.rec.drivel
regulars, my killfile has been taking on a beer-bellied appearance. I use Mozilla 1.6 [1], and can easily killfile posters, but is there a Cunning Way of filtering cross-posted threads? R. [1] I know, I know, separate emailer and newsgruppen readers are good, but I've got so much time and energy tied up with this setup.... |

I use Maxnews which has a custom filter, not sure if it can be set up for cross posts, could certainly kill files that are sent to uk.tosspot though. -- Buck I would rather be out on my Catrike www.catrike.co.uk |

If your newsreader uses regexp matching, then the pattern you want is For no crossposted articles at all: [a-z0-9\.-]*,.* For no articles crossposted to more than one group: [a-z0-9\.-]*,[a-z0.9\.-]*,.* Of course you could simply killfile exact matches of the particular groups you want to exclude (also in the Newsgroups header). -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; my other religion is Emacs |

I used to read uk.t. But even when I read both I tended to skip crossposted threads. There is rarely anything of benefit to be learned as either a cyclist or a motorist from X-posts.
