This has the potential for becoming nice tool. Can you imagine the ironic
scenario where a Google Grouper kills all posts from Google Groups as to
make UseNetting a more pleasant experience? If an exception is made for
self, this might be ready for practical use. [sarcasm] I would take a
further step and suggest another excellent suggestion -- that which closes
the browser when a Grouper hits "Reply". *smile*

Like, for example, message-id contains "google"?

How does one compose a filter in KNode, which kills all crossposted
garbage? I can recall such discussions in the KDE group. I suspect it
wasn't possible at the time. Another filter that was lacked is that which
matches custom-made post header. This was raised when the Mandrake and
(one among) the Linux newsgroup(s) got hit by a huge flood.
comp.os.linux.misc was hit by another flood not so long ago. Any
suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes to all,
Roy
