Mindless insults are worthwhile?
I see those because someone else replies.
But Sloman\'s posts are usually the start of, or embedded in, stupid
flame wars.

Sadly, I perceive a couple of posters trying to start a stupid flame war.

No. Clifford and I are discussing, not arguing and insulting one another. We mostly agree.

Clifford Heath did post a fairly inflammatory line.

\"Sometimes even Sloman says something worthwhile. \"

And John Larkin followed it up with something equally inflammatory and demonstrably false.

\"Mindless insults are worthwhile?\"

I don\'t have to post mindless insults - I can always finding something which it is perfectly rational to be rude about, admittedly often about subjects that John Larkin doesn\'t want to think about, perhaps because he can\'t think all that well.

Nor does John Larkin. He\'s great at evolving new and progressively more different circuits but design seems to be beyond him.

You can filter on almost anything.



I can add a delete filter for posts from someone but I can\'t seem to
filter responses to those posts which may very well have his responses
in them and, of course, the reset of the stupid topic I wanted to
filter anyway.

Don\'t want to have to create a filter for every subject I don\'t care
for. Using Agent

Does it support killfiling based upon the Message-ID: and References:
header?

If yes, you add a rule killfiling on the message id of the post
starting the subthread you want to remove, and any article with that
message ID in the References: header gets filtered away.

The android app Newsgroups, filters the entire thread. I didn\'t
expect that , but it does cut down on the noise.
This is the free version.
