I use Thunderbird also, and just mark the filtered posts as "read".
That way when I go through unread messages it skips over them, yet I can
go back to them if I want.

Real USENET users access news with tin running in an ASCII X11 terminal
window running on Unix.

No, REAL USENET users use a program which properly threads messages
using a GUI to display threading.

Tin shows threads in ASCII just fine.

Yes, but I must amend my statement. Only those stuck in the 1970's use
Tin in an ASCII X11 terminal. REAL USENET users have kept up with the
times.

As there is zero advantage to interacting with an ASCII based application,
i.e. USENET, with a GUI and I often find myself somewhere where my only
connection is via a crappy VPN where a GUI is dog slow, ASCII is the
prefered method for me.

I suppose you still use a BC-610 on HF, also.

I did start out with a one tube, xtal transmitter and ARC-5 receiver, but
the current HF gear is:

TS-440 on semi-permanent loan to a new ham
TS-870 currently on backup status
TS-2000X main rig
