Nope what? I also complained while there were many new

I've seen in the last several weeks were people responding to the
original posts or to replys or replys to replys, etc.

Oh, -those reverberations; I thought you meant the cross-posts
themselves. Sorry for being a smartass.

Still, this is one of the easiest annoyances to get rid of with
newsreader filtering, since the From: line never changes, and the
Subject: always has the same keyword. If you filter on the Subject:,
you'll never even see the follow-ups.

Until someone posts a new thread, with a sufficiently different format
(like this one) to get through my filters.

Oh well, _these_ reverberations shouldn't take too long.

Really? My filters are catching this thread just fine; I had to turn
them off temporarily to see your post.

You missed your chance to stop it.
