Yes simply go to Tools, message rules, news, and create a filter to block messages with certain key words like watches, hand bags, etc.

Download and install a copy of NewsProxy, a.k.a. Nfilter, from

formatting link
and configure the filters to drop all posts coming from GoogleGroups, except for those from a few selected regulars here.

Filter rules to do exactly that are as follows:

rec.woodworking flag: from:charliediy|htroberts|dalemartin rec.woodworking flag: from:[Jj]akofalltrades|fredfighter

  • drop message-id:googlegroups

That is correct. LOL Becauseeeeeee we don't want to hear about fake Domino's.

True, but look at all the money you save not needing blood pressure medication!

I don't filter and I can tell you not to get too excited, because the spam count was down significantly today.

Also, you may want to watch your because I almost deleted your message without reading it (lpoking like spam bacause of the caps) but noticed your name and recoginized you as one of the newer (I think) regulars.

Not that my reading your message is of much importance.

Don't want to discuss it

I think it's time for a change

You may get disgusted

And start thinkin' that I'm actin' strange

In that case I'll go underground

Get some heavy rest

Never have to worry

About what is worst and what is best . . . hit it

Chorus:

Oh, oh, Domino

Roll me over, Romeo, there you go

Lord have mercy, I said

Oh, oh, Domino

Roll me over, Romeo, there you go

Say it again

I said oh, oh, Domino

I said oh, oh, Domino

There's no need for argument

There's no argument at all

And if you never hear from him

That just means he didn't call

Or vice-a-versa

That depends on where ever you're at

And if you never hear from me

That just means I would rather not . . . hit it

(Chorus)

Hey mister DJ

I just wanna hear some rhythm & blues right now

On the radio, on the radio, on, on the radio

On, on the radio, On, on the radio

On, on the radio . . . here's the band

Since you're asking, I guess your filter is working well.
