What the HELL has this newsgroup become the dumping grounds for every
crackpot in the world ?
who gives a **** about Walmart, I don't buy scanners there, get frequencies
there, or antenna's there.

Why don't you mental midgets take all this CRAP about Walmart, gays, ham
radio, CW and all the
other political horsecrap to the REC.I'm_an_idiot newsgroup and let
the rest of us have OUR
group back so we can carry on discussions about things that we joined this
group in the first place.

I've got about 4 people 'filtered', I guess I can add alot more

Of course you are correct. But also unfortunately almost all news
groups are rapidly becoming socio-politcal-BS. About all you can do
is killfile the people who constantly post this crap, and maybe all those
that respond. But then you end up with a handful of people left who arent
killfiled.

There is a 3rd option that I'm testing, you can filter key words or
phrases. If a message contains these words its filtered
like you could filter all messages that contain "Boycott Walmart" no matter
who sends them, but if that person wants to
post something 'normal' it comes thru. Naturally Slow Code and Markie are
permently killfiled, but I think this filter
system once set up ( which might take a little while) should work good
