Only one setting if you use Xnews. You simply enter a value for the "x" in
the following option:

"Kill articles crossposted to more than [x] groups"

I don't know about you but I'd like to *bust a cap* up their ass! I'm
on a few ngs and this one the filters have just gone haywire lately.

You're better off with a newsreader than can filter crossposts. That
way you usually don't have to killfile individuals, just the cross
groups.

I have to admit I am curious about mr. Chung's choices of ngs to cross-post
- why this one?

I use MT Newswatcher, but I'll explore more of their filter options
then. They have a few I've not looked at yet. ;-)

At the moment, I'm killfiling by key words. :-)

That's actually VERY effective.

"kill if subject contains the word XXXXX"

I finally set up a filter to take out any subject that contains the word
"God". Also "arrow" and "arrows".

The trick with key words is selecting ones that are unlikely to be food
related, and the filters are specific to this group only. I can select
the heirarchy if I wan't, but I'm not.

It does not killfile authors unless I tell it to.
I set up a keyword filter for "from" if the from (author) contains the
word "Chung". Since he always posts with his name even tho' he changes
ID's frequently, I should never see a post from him again using that as
the filter criteria.

I think that if I manipulate some of the filters just right, I might be
able to filter out all posts that are crossposted to a specific group.

Where the hell are these coming from, and how can I tell?
I guess I could pull up the headers to find that information?
I normally do not make those visible.

The thing is, I'm leery of filtering out crossposts as there is a small
group of lists I belong to where crossposting is appropriate in the
RELATED groups, and I don't want to lose those posts. Some are posted by
some close 'net buddies...

Cheers!

It works pretty well, especially in weeding out political messages.

In XanaNews, the killfile is distinct from the filter list, although
you can (and I have) set up author filters as well for people who
frequently morph their address.

That's the way. The header should give you the entire newsgroup list.

The key is to look for groups you doubt will ever have any interesting
thread crossed to. You can usually tell.

I'll have a look then next time one shows up.

I didn't get the impression that yours had a separate killfile. For
instance, Thunderbird does not. To killfile someone with that reader
you add a filter with their email address. They simplify it with the
"create filter from message" pulldown.

XanaNews can do it either way. There's a one-click "bozo bin" button or
you can make a filter for the Sender field. Ones in the bozo bin don't
show up on the filter list, although can view the entire bozo bin file
separately.

Err, unmm that's why you use the * it catches everything afterwards. I
just filteter based on *.* for his crap. It catches everything. The *
is a wildcard meaning it will work for anything Most newsreaders
will work this way in recognizing the wildcards.

Poor sci.med.cardiology. I'll bet there are a lot of people
learning to use their kill files. This Chung person claims to be a
cardiologist. If so, he must be an unemployed cardiologist with all
the time he spends on line. He has literally taken over that newsgroup.

If you put an asterisk after arrow, you cover both bases.

But if someone were posting about butts and you KFed butt*, you'd not
only eliminate butts, you'd eliminate butter.

As I understand it, he has lost his license to practice medicine. I
could be wrong on that, but if memory serves, people in the low-carb
group had done some investigating.

Yet not a problem with the crosspost killer. I tell you it's been the
biggest cleanup for those sorts. It's why I moved to XanaNews,
specifically get crosspost control.

Yes.
Create filter for:

Etc.

But it's all in the same filter pages.
I just have different options to use in 3 different settings.

Well, I've managed to filter out all but one message of that mess over
the past day...... ;-)

Sometimes keyword filters can be an art!

That's what I figured. As I said, with XanaNews the "bozo bin" and the
filter list are separate. The actual killfile is pretty simple, it's a
one-click deal that kills any messages from a particular email.
Effective most of the time, but not with those that morph their
addresses.

There is also the filter list, with options to filter by Subject, From,
Body, Date, Lines, Header, Crossposts, with options for Matches,
Doesn't Match, etc. That's for when you need more power.

I like the option to filter by the actual crossposted newsgroup name
rather than just number of crossposted groups. Most of the Chung groups
I don't care about.

Helps to pay attention to the group history. ;-)

Honestly Bob, is the dude really worth your time?
I'm sure that your wit is lost on him.

From just what little I've read, he sounds like
an egotistical, ignorant brick wall!
You are having a battle of wits with an unarmed person...

Cheers!
