All someone's opinion. In MY opinion, none of the other ones are as easy
and as logicaly laid outm, as OE.

But, obviously lacking the powerful kill filter feature that would make
reading this group a little more enjoyable.

Guess that depends on one's needs. I agree that OE filtering is not as
robust as that found in other newsreaders. However, I find it a trivial
effort to mark undesirable threads as ignored. The message rules also allow
for automatically marking as ignored threads where a particular poster has
posted, or where the subject has a particular word or phrase in it.

I do miss my old rn killfile semantics, but OE is so much cleaner,
friendlier, and easier in other ways that the negligible additional effort
(hit Alt-M-I when I see a thread I don't want) to filter out this crap isn't
a big deal.

In other words, OE has sufficient features to prevent the off-topic spam and
rants from detracting to whatever enjoyment one might derive from this
newsgroup.

Your mileage may vary.
