Default Useless NG

You were completely wrong. Any Newsgroups frequented by MVPs or
disqualified MVPs, you are likely to get all sorts including muslim
terrorists ("Ibrahim Al-Qassam \(Abdelaziz\)"
), serial killers, serial rapists, child abusers and pimps.

The only solution is to ban or kill or MVPs and your life would be better.

This will be my one and only post to this moronic pigsty.

You couldn't make it up, could you? That's what I call a "moronic pigsty"


Hahaha.
What the hell is that?
Nevermind, I deleted it.

Do the same thing as I do, PLONK those Morons, Idiots, Imbeciles and
filthy mouthed Pigs. I don't see their posts any more except if
somebody replies.


There are newsreaders that can apply a flag (Watch or Ignore) to an
entire subthread (instead of to just one post). That way, when a post
from an unwanted user gets flagged as Ignored then the entire subthread
with all its replies also gets flagged as Ignored. You ignore the
unwanted poster along with any replies to them. Then use a view that
hides all the ignored posts. Alas, none of Microsoft's newsreaders have
that capability.


Which is sad because the OP uses Windows Live Mail so they wouldn't be
able to do that.

Some of the people here have nothing to add except for replying to the
idiots like frank, alias, bill yanaire, danny and the rest of the
idiots.

Simply plonk them and then people who continuously reply to them, and
you will restore your reading sanity here.
I did the same in the Vista newsgroup too.


If you do that thoroughly and effectively, you end up with an
essentially empty group. (Maybe that's a commentary on the current sad
state of Usenet.)

Outlook Express (OE) has the capability to ignore threads, as does Windows
Live Mail (WLM), both MS products, with OE having been around for years.
And they both work exactly as you described it: Ignore the thread, hide
ignored. I've done it forever with OE and XP, and I'm doing it now with WLM
and Win7. Have we had this conversation before?

They don't work as described. There is a difference between a thread and a
subthread. You want to ignore subthreads started by trolls, not the entire
thread which may be useful.

Unlike OE or WLM, other newsreaders can specify the *start* of what to
ignore. That is, they work on SUBthreads whether it start with the
first thread or some ways down within any particular subthread. OE and
WLM let you ignore the entire thread which is of little value unless you
are also so keen on blowing an entire discussion just because one
unwanted poster made a reply in a DIFFERENT subthread than the other
useful subthreads.

For example, I ignored this entire discussion from the starter thread
but chose to watch only this subthread. If someone replies that is on
my killfile list, just that sub-subthread gets tagged but all other
replies that start their own sub-subthread are still seen.

In OE, pick any discussion that has more than 1 reply either as multiple
replies under one subthread or as multiple replies to the same starter
post (so they are all their own subthreads). Now go down any number of
posts and tag it as Igored. Gee, guess what happens. Instead of that
post and its subthread getting tagged, the ENTIRE discussion starting
from the very first post gets tagged.

Apparently if anyone gets involved in a discussion and is someone you
want to ignore, you want to toss the ENTIRE discussion. Not everyone
has that attitude and really only wants to filter out the unwanted posts
but still wants to see the wanted posts. Throwing away entire
discussions because of one bad poster means the newsgroup will really
get quiet for you. It also means when you go to a party and just one
person you don't like is there that you leave the party and go be by
yourself rather than enjoy the rest of the party.

It's been too long since I trialed and trashed WLM after finding much
more capable newsreaders. Without wasting time on a trial of WLM, my
recollection was that it performed the same WHOLE-DISCUSSION tagging
that was present in OE's behavior.

Complained about that for years up to 2006 and it always fell on deaf ears

Sorry, I wasn't following the sub-thread implication. I understand what you
mean now, but will confirm that, yes, if any of the trolls has posted in a
thread, then (at least to me), the entire thread is poisoned. So, trashing
the whole conversation, if a troll is involved, doesn't bother me at all.
Thanks for the clarification.
