then killfile them, too.
here about 50% or more of all postings are wiped out by the killfile.

I was here for ten years without needing a killfile. Now, the solution is
to killfile dozens of posters?

now, that's life IMHO. 20 years ago you might also have not locked your
front door, nowadays you'll probably lock up.

That illustrates just how far this group has fallen, Martin. How sad. IMHO
it's better to learn an awkward interface than to put up with this.

First it is good to use a newsserver that filters out the obvious crap
(EMP - excessive multiposts, HTML, binaries, ...), then you finetune to
what you seem appropriate using your killfile. Most likely you get rid
of 20% or more of the crap filtering out those postings coming in via
googlegroups, then it *might* also be a good idea filtering those using
a gmail-account.
