End of stats for rec.radio.shortwave

I have killfiled the first three on this list and am seriously
considering the next three.
(signed) An interested reader about shortwave with very few comments
offered.

Instead of simply zapping individuals, zap topics.
If you use certain keywords to zap the topics,
it'll improve things quite a bit.

There are very few people here who post completely
off topic. There are a couple who mostly do it, but
no one who's completely off base.
