A solution is to move to a moderated NG; if there isn't one, create one. I
suggested similar in rec.radio.shortwave due to that group being overrun by
politico's & personal attacks on/by each other.

Another solution is to set up judicious NG filtering, either by subject,
partial subject, sender or address; having done so myself for r.r.s. I can
say that 90% of the trash no longer gets seen (by me), and I just don't open
messages with subjects that aren't on topic.
