I gotta get a newsreader with an ignore function...Mozilla's Thunderbird
won't do it.

In Thunderbird, you can mark a thread as read, all current and future
messages are then not highlighted. From the toolbar Message-Ignore
Thread. You can then select to only see unread messages. From the
toolbar View-Messages-Unread.

You can also eliminate posts from specific senders. From the toolbar
select Message-Create Filter From Message. This won't get rid of
existing posts but eliminates future posts until the sender changes his
address.


I really like this forum and the shortwave and radio
modification content, lightning protection, etc. Things related to radio.


By using the above you can make most of the junk go away.

But there's a bunch of whack jobs who post, cross post to this group on
circular hair loss, Disney killing sharks, racist bignoses spewing about
Jacko, Bush killing with greenhouse gases.

No matter what you say, they won't go away. Your best option is to just
ignore them.


Anyhow, thanks to all who post with RADIO topics. Oh well, off the soapbox,
I've got the tower tilted down and over to remove the rotor on the
HF/VHF/UHF and satellite beams for maintainance. Now that the wind has
diminished here in Florida I could take it down for repair.


Good luck on the repairs.
