How to get rid of "Wodger"

[Brian Goldsmith]

Elsewhere on this NG there is a moronic thread about some person in
NZ.This thread has been cross posted from the beginning to many other
NGs ,the end result is hundreds of unwanted postings appearing in my
Inbox.Could some kind soul advise me if there is any convienent method
of, a) getting rid of the unwanted crap (aside from "reading" each post)
and b) preventing its reappearence? I wish!!!!!!

Thanks,Brian Goldsmith.

** It is actually "Woger" - according to "Uncle StoatWarbler". "Woger"
was the character the crowd wanted released in The Life Of Brian.
".....welease Woger........welease Woger .... " they all cried.

This may or may not relate to the particular "Woger" residing in the Land
of the Long White Cloud.


BTW Blocking entire threads would be convenient - must be some way to
make OE do it.

Does your newsreader program have an "ignore thread" command?

"Agent" newsreader does.

I just set up a rule to delete and mark as read anything with 'Woger' in the
subject. Wodger, however, was released into my system.
I find the ignore thread facility cumbersome as it counts them in the unread
messages count in the folders toolbar. OE is so very untidy.

"Agent" newsreader does.

But it doesn't seem to work properly on threads with long
titles because it doesn't thread them properly. I assume
it only looks at the first n characters of a thread title?

Using FreeAgent, or any other newsreader I have used, you simply don't
open threads you don't want to. No need to open every message.
For some Yahoo! groups I get every message emailed to my inbox, but I
only do this for low volume email list groups where nearly every
message is relevant to me. I can't imagine getting every
aus.electronics message emailed to my inbox, I'd go insane in a matter
of hours! Not that I thought you could get usenet groups emailed to
your inbox anyway? Out of curiosity, can you get use usenet like an
email list group?
