You're using Outlook Express to read news. There exists software
specifically reading news -- Agent, Free Agent, others for Windows;
NewsWatcher, MacSoup, others for Macintosh. The good ones allow you to
create filters on posts -- by author, by subject, perhaps by length of
post. For example, I can choose to highlight the names of certain
posters so their posts are readily visible when my group's list of posts
appears. I can choose to'kill' or "kill file" certain subjects or
posters if I don't even want them to show up on my screen. The filters
may have time limits (you choose) on them. HTH.
