Help! Can someone more computer savvy than I am tell me how to set up a filter in Netscape to exclude cross-posted messages? I think the cross-posting on our most prominent thread is getting out of hand... not only alt.support.marriage, but now also alt.child-support.

Try doing a google search using the keyword of your newsreader and filters, perhaps that might help?

Eek.. yeah, I'm sorry.. as soon as I hit send, I saw that you did say what your newsreader was, sorry. Doesn't Netscape have a help file? SignatureCal~ calliope 123 at gmail dot com > Doesn't Netscape have a help file? Yes, it does, but I haven't been able to find anything that addresses that specific situation. I'll spend some more time browsing, although it may turn out that I just can't filter in that way.

The barrage of bitterness that's coming into Assp is getting my down. I've KF'd a bunch of people in the past few days. Filters depend on your newsreader though. M > I agree. The barrage of bitterness that's coming into Assp is getting > my down. Me, too. It's unfortunate that there's so little other activity in the group. I've KF'd a bunch of people in the past few days. Filters > depend on your newsreader though. I guess I'll either have to KF or mark the thread to be ignored. Let's come up with something else to talk about and maybe these people from other groups will go back where they came from. Their posts are increasingly OT.

Many people on usenet frown on cross posting. It annoys me because a thread can become OT very quickly. M >> Help! >> Can someone more computer savvy than I am tell me how to set up a filter [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Why do you care if the message you read is posted in any other group? Because frequently the groups that are crossposted do not have any common interests and often conflicting philosophies, and very often cross-posting is done in order to be deliberately inflammatory. > >> Help! > >> Can someone more computer savvy than I am tell me how to set up a filter [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > interests and often conflicting philosophies, and very often cross-posting > is done in order to be deliberately inflammatory. All of the above can be said of a NON-crossposted message. >> >> Help! >> >> Can someone more computer savvy than I am tell me how to set up a [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > All of the above can be said of a NON-crossposted message. While it can be true of non-crossposted messages, it is a lot more likely to be true of crossposts. > Help! > Can someone more computer savvy than I am tell me how to set up a filter > in Netscape to exclude cross-posted messages?
