I still prefer my newsgroups unmoderated. It's easy enough to skip
over
the morons (kill-filing only works when they don't keep changing names
on you) and I don't want someone else deciding what I should and should
not read.

Hear hear!

Nymshifting is easy enough to deal with. It's easy enough to recognize
spammers. Trolls frequently cross-post to very unrelated groups.
Killfile them all. It's pretty simple and virtually painless.

It was simple for me with Outlook Express. However, now that I have
Thunderbird, it's complicated, and I can't remember how to do it. I
know I have to open the file, which in itself irks me. I liked being
able to killfile without opening a post.

Actually, you don't have to open the offensive post. (My mistake, I
gave you misinformation.) Just highlight the message, you don't have to
open it, just select it. Click Message, Create Filter from message and
select the action as delete.

Thank you!
