What conspiracy types?

Oh, I guess my killfilters are working overtime. Cool.

Same here. I had 250 unread articles when entering this group, but only
35 after my killfile did its thing.

I kill anything crossposted to alt.disasters.aviation and anything
posted to more then five groups. That pretty much takes care of
all the trolls.

I sure wish OE had that kind of option, or that there was an EASY add on to
do it.

M$ OE 6.0

Main OE page (Inbox)/Tools/Message Rules/News.../

Do one thing (checked box) for each Message Rule otherwise you get into an
AND... situation, if you try to have too many rules under one, um, ...er,
"rule."

You must click the little blue links, in the bottom (3rd) box, to complete
the Rule you checked (created).

New Message Rule #1
New Message Rule #2
New Message Rule #3
New Message Rule #4
New Message Rule #5 etc.

You can rename them if you'd like.

If you were talking, specifically, about a Message Rule filtering
crossposted threads ...I don't know. Maybe there's an EASY add on to do
that? g

Yep, I know how to do that, but there never seems to be a good word to go
with, without occasionally killing a thread you want to keep.

I mostly just hit " mark conversation read," and go on.

There are other/better newsreaders out there for Winblows then OE. I've
heard people say nice things about Forte, but haven't played with it.

Being a Unix guy, all I need to put in my killfile is:

# kill anything xposted to ada
/alt.disasters.aviation/HXref:j=
# kill anything xposted to more then five groups.
/.*:.*:.*:.*:.*/HXref:j=

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

And I do wish there was an option to do that, with OE.

But, obviously lacking the powerful kill filter feature that would make

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.
