20 years ago? 1985?

Ah, yes.. that's what I said.

You were posting on this newsgroup, 20 years ago?

Jeff

Or does it just seem that way?

Google on-line archives only go back to 1991 or so.

I've been here since 1996, and it was a lot different then.

I came on around then. Went away for a while when the madness began. Now I
just filter like mad. ;-)

I filter too. Came upon this thread and the replies when I went hanging
around Google. I had the whole thread killfiled, as well as most of those
who replied. I see about 3 new postings a day with all my filters on.

I did that once - filtering by name, subject, etc.
Considering that the posts to this group are probably 95% rubbish, It is
better to set up an "accept" list of words and senders.

With both "accept" and "kill", I get the best of both worlds... Known trash is either
deleted or unavailable (posts with an attachment are automatically included in that
trash), known good posts are made available and the rest is header only so that I
can chose whether to mark it for download.

Figures for this group, as shown by my news reader:
Messages totally excluded: 676.
Headers in cache: 334
Messages downloaded: 69.
Out of a total of 1010 messages, only 69 are actually downloaded.
