To those considering leaving this group...

I ran OE, clicked newsgroup r.r.e
status said 89 messages not downloaded, I got the headers...
result: 1 on topic unread message
killfile and subject filters deleted 88 messages... about 99%

I've had other similar results, but never 99 percent... more like
60-80 percent, but the point is...
filter and PLONK the crap you don't want to see
