Hey All,

I know I'm not contributing that much to this group, nevertheless I'd
like to say I'm very close to giving up on this group and moving on to
other places that cost me less time to wade through to find the few
worthwhile posts.

Its no fun spending this amount of time to wade through and be left with
less then 5% or so posts actually worth reading.

I'm surprised not many others speak up. Maybe they already left long
ago. Also because of the political and propaganda posts that fill up
this group.

Anyway, just wanted to say before I just silently go away. Maybe it
helps, maybe not

Have a good day all,

I hope you'll stick it out a little longer. Every group goes through
phases, and while I agree that we're in the middle of a fairly bad
phase right now, things might get better. Your frustration is
perfectly understandable though. Like you, I don't care for all the
political posts that appear here, and we've been inundated by spam
posts about IBOC for the past several weeks. Nevertheless I find that
the occasional on-topic post still makes this group worthwhile.

Why don't you block those people who post subjects your not interested in
that way you'll only see those posts that you want to read?

Because occasionally they make worthwhile posts as well. And spending X
amount of time adding/editing filters is not that much different from
wading through the offtopic junk IMO.

Filer on the references header. Lets say I respond to the hated David
infomercial then my post will be killed. If I respond to a different
poster you have not filter on then my post will show up.

I usually just block them anyway. If they are using foul language or
spamming, I usually figure I don't need any info from them that I cant get
somewhere else or from someone else.

You would be added to Telamon's kill file too.

That's what I started doing too. If they can't behave on this group,
they don't deserve any of my time, whether they're on topic or not. It's
not like they're the only ones on the planet with some tidbit of
shortwave news.

If you block me,,,, you don't deserve any of my time.
