That's Good Advise on Filtering the Subject Line

I also suggest the following :
Election & Electoral
Vote & Voting
President & Presidential
Hillary & Clinton
Barack & Obama
?John? & McCain
Democrat & Republican

Natually : OT / (OT) / Off-Topic are a must in any
Subject-Line Filter - imho ~ RHF


Yes...and in the case of this newsgroup, a filter to remove
rec.radio.info posting guidelines that don't belong here would also
seem to be in order. Unfortunately, filters set in the newsgroups
don't work on e-mail.

Therefore, this morning I received an e-mail reply from someone at
panix.com (from which the rri/rrapm moderation team carries out its
dirty work) concerning the FAQ for this newsgroup, and to which I
composed a reply to the effect that apparently nobody in this group is
interested in their group, its posting guidelines, or its moderation
team.

Somehow, I doubt that this will convince them to concern themselves
with their own groups and leave ours alone, but at least I tried.
