"...mitigate someone else's decision to abrogate netiiquette." - I liked
this g.

What's that grammer term when phrasing rolls off the tounge? Dances on the
ear?

I've got a number of (inferior) options :-)

Skim each posts quickly.
Don't read the thread when I see it.
Filter the thread.
Killfile the posters - I let them out of jail after about a month

Let the boys blow off some steam, and simply walk around?
I'm sure there's more ....

Sometimes (???), with hangar flying, people adopt a Terrier-on-a-pant-cuff
sensibility with their postings. I figure oh well, and head off to read why
turbines won't work with PPC trikes, instead.

(My newsreader)
I use M$ IE OE 6.0 for newsgroups. I delete all posts a couple of times per
day. I like 30 fresh posts to read, then they're gone. I do not like 200,
300, 400, 500 posts in my preview window. Too overwhelming - even if I've
read half of them.

(Newsgroup/Properties/Local File/Delete) I'll go to Google/Groups if I need
to pull something deleted back up.
