For 8 years, I dealt with Usenet noise by ignoring individual posts. Last year, things really started getting out of hand on several groups I participate in.

Check out some of the news clients and proxys that will get recommended to you.

I prefer Agent, and paid for the full version to allow me to use all the filtering features.

Your two points are excellent and true.

However, I've noticed that I don't seem to miss much by ignoring threads I'm not interested in, even if it's on-topic and polite. Crossposting dosen't bother me until I reply, at which time Agent notifies me.

Have you ever tried a proxy to catch the crossposts?

Personally, I've never found a moderated, web-based forum that I liked, as they are usually slow, both in response and posting speed. I also haven't found a web-based forum that had an interface I like.

If you find one you like, post the url here. I'm always looking...

Thanks, Barry

No, no comments on the other stuff. Just about Agent. BTW, the latest upgrade 1.93, which I installed last night, supposedly does a better job of collecting posts that really are part of the same thread. I'll wait and see.

Gravity (by MicroPlanet) will handle both of those conditions. And it's free.

Charlie has hit a hole in one. Thanks Charlie.
