How do you get rid of all this crap that has filled up my listing of rec.woodworking posts? Does anyone patronize these scumbags hawking their fake junk?



I access this group through Google.



Thanks.


Step #1 would be to stop doing that then filter out anything from Google. Ditto gmail.

That's your problem. Get a NNTP account, and get an agent that has killfiles.

Teranews sells one for about $5 for a one-time fee. I tried it, but I found out that the one my ISP provides free (roadrunner) was better.

I purchase many quality products through these fine vendors. I have a basket full of msmesos - though I'm unsure of what kind of maple they're made from, or what I'm supposed to do with them.

My new fake Juicy Couture Bowler handbag makes a stylish Domino carrying case. If you're going to by the most stylish tools, don't carry them around in style-less cases.

And I never go to the pharmacy anymore when there's a plethora of high quality male enhancement products as near as rec.woodworking...

Did you search Google for Google Groups killfile?

You might already have access via your ISP. Do a search on MSN* for your ISP and NNTP. If they provide access you should be able to get all the info you need.

*Telling people that use Google to search with Google is getting old. Randomly suggesting search engines seems to be fun for a few minutes anyway.

Using Google groups I display the topic list and only look at the threads that interest me.

Excepting the rare woodworking-related spam, spam is off-topic, though many other off-topic posts are not spam. It is not a dichotomy.

Is that like an appendectomy, but a little lower?

Filtering out Robatoy would eliminate much of the OT posts.

This is worth trying - for diehard google users. You need firefox, greasemonkey, and the plugin
