Yes, I use them, too, but they can also be a PITA.

Agreed. I have KF'd so many posters the last few days that I am

Yup, especially for political/religious crap. I even put the words
"Thanksgiving" and "Christmas" in my keyword filter because frankly the
"What are you cooking for...?" threads about those holidaze quickly bore me.
To check any interesting discussions on such topics I just check on Google
(I read and post from there in addition to Earthlink's server)...

I can also click on a box on the group page "Show killed articles" if I
want to see what is there out of curiosity.....

I'd recommed you try XanaNews, but it looks like you're working from
Mac OS, and it doesn't have a port there.

Appreciate the idea, <smooch>
but I'm doing ok now. ;-)

Have not seen a single cross posted Chung post now for the past 24 hours.

I was just ranting......

And yes, I run an I-mac with OS-X.

MT is a very good newsreader and after reviewing filter settings, it
looks like there is a setting to kill Newsgroups. I'll have to play with
it and see what happens.

Cheers!

Hey Om, what MT stand for? I'm running Mac OS-X and Mozilla which does
have filters but something better would be nice. TIA

The program is called "MT Newswatcher" and is a free download:

It really is a great little mac program. :-)

Hope this helps!

SO and I can vouch for Newswatcher as well. We've used it for some time
now.

ITA - I keep hoping that I've KF'd the last one in the Chung X-posting
melee. I may KF the occasional RFCer in the process, as I tend to KF
any poster in the thread unless I immediately recognize the poster.

I think I may have found the way to get rid of Chung, etc. I am using
Agent 3.2. I subscriber to 2 of the main newsgroups that they post
to. I have set them as the first ones to have headers downloaded.
Then set crossposting management to not download anything that has
been downloaded to an earlier group. I do not download any bodies in
the two Chung groups. Seems to work.
