I would support the creation of a moderated site. It'd be nice to have
a place to go where postings are reliably on topic, and the political
"discussions" on rrs are rarely substantive anyway. I say go for it.

Streisand is a hack. ''Hollywood'' is a 100% capitalist enterprise
run by right-wing multinationals. They make money by giving audiences
what they demand. Their only agenda is profits.

Given the sheer idiocy of some 99.9 % of the off-topic posts, it seems
that whatever war might be raging is that between the poster and
whatever remnant of dignity that poster may still possess. All too
many seem completely hell-bent on proving to the world what utter
morons they are.

Telamon, I'm curious, what news client do you use? I've not figured out
how
to configure Outlook Express to filter responses to those in my killfile;
perhaps it can't be done.


You need to use a dedicated news reader. I don't know how to use Outlook
Express for reading news. I just use it for mail. The Mac version of
Outlook is called Entourage on the Mac.

If I turn on the header information it shows the line below on one of my
posts.

User-Agent: MT-NewsWatcher/3.4 (PPC Mac OS X)

On your post it's

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180

Well I use a Mac as you can tell from the header information and my news
reader is MT-NewsWatcher.

There has to be many free news readers for PC's. Don't use a mail
program for Usenet.


Thanks, I'll check it out. Probably should have just googled it first, but I
was feeling unusually lazy. I actually just picked up a Mac this past
weekend; this is my first experience with that os.


MT-NewsWatcher is free and I highly recommend it.

He's been known to 'spill the beans' once in a while. What a mess.
