Depends upon the news server, google doesn't do any filtering. You are
using giganews, they do some, and supernews is absolutly brutal with their
filtering.

SuperNews is excellent at filtering the garbage. I rearely see any of

It appears you use Windows, so I'll let others recommend a newsreader

Google posters are the clue there. Usenet looks like a webbie board, I post
with a google mail account, but use a real news server. If they are
posting from google too, expect these kind of posts.
Sometimes you have to learn to look at headers. i.e. View Source, hey you
are using KNode, me too, look under the View menu. I have my user-agent
hidden though.

I haven't seen any of the porn inserted into the middle of a thread as yet,
Dave. There's plenty in the headers of posts but you can spot span and porn
pretty quickly and move on. Now, if anyone has a porn addiction that they
are working through you need to stick with a moderated site such as the ones
already given. Best of luck to you and I hope that you can stay.

You had to go *back* to find the smut? That's weird, maybe they've stopped.
Hey, come on back, they've stopped! Oh, wait, you've already left.
You could've read the faq. Especially the part about thick skin and nomex
underwear. Gee, I hope you don't consider that comment to be smut-like.

Please submit your proposal for stopping the jerks and we will implement it.
Otherwise, don't look at it or set up some filters.

What smut? Did I miss something. Did Robotoy reverse Plonk me so I can't
read his posts? Did Charlie (I was in the USMC) swear again? Shit, I never
get the word.

I haven't seen any of it. Your computer must be broken.
I agree to some extent but I have learned to look past it into the good of
the woodworker content. In fact, on occasion, I have used some of the
spammers posts to be a point of spoofing and a little fun in the context of
woodworking as related to their post. As concerning to me are the regular
posters who wander off topic to use a legitimate woodworking discussion as
a launching point for expressing their own political or religious
perspectives. But that too is "ignorable."

Being an unmoderated group, we can't control the folks who come in and
post. It's a free Newsgroup, and sometimes people think it's an
invitation to spam.
Just ignore it and you'll find a lot of great woodworking stuff to
keep you interested, if you want to do a little filtering.

Why not try some of the other woodworking groups?
www.sawmillcreek.org
www.lumberjocks.com
www.woodcentral.com
Most of these groups are moderated and mostly
stay on topic. Better yet, get some good woodworking
books and learn from the masters.

I haven't been posting very often, to speak of, because I'm back at

And yet, there seems to be a lot of silly threads having a long life
of their own without MY participation.
Suuuuuure it is easy to blame Robatoy, and yes, he does toss out a
line with some bait on it once in a while (in his quest for
clarification), but shit happens without me here...so what does that

Free Agent doesn't exist anymore--you can find ancient versions in
various places but there hasn't been a new release in a very long
time. Agent has a free mode but it's the most annoying kind of
nagware I've ever seen--the icons and menu items for the disabled
features are still displayed and any time you click on one it asks you
if you want to upgrade.
Outlook Express with a decent proxy server does fine.

I've seen plenty of folks recommend Free Agent or Agent Forte but I've had
excellent luck with plain old Outlook Express coupled with NewsProxy and a
decent set of message rules. I see the occasional complaint but I never seem to
see what sets them off. That crap gets filtered before it makes it to my
screen.
As a result, I see a lot less traffic, but what I do see is on-topic. What did
me the most good was filtering on crossposted messages. They seem to have the
most off-topic crap in them, almost by definition. Outlook Express can't filter
crossposts, but the NewsProxy add-on can.
