Well, I finally went to outlook express...
to read this group, just so I can have a killfile to eliminate
that crossposting moron Min. The lousy new google beta pushed me over the edge. |

Every standalone newsreader supports killfiles and filtering, so you have plenty to choose from, both free and cheap, if you don't like OE. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

Thanks, I'll check it out. I really don't like OE.

I use 40tude Dialog, which is in my opinion, the best of all. It's free and can be had at: http://www.40tude.com/dialog/download.htm Martin |

No, just killfile assh*les. Of course, when people
insist on replying to them, you still get the thread... "Wfoley2" wrote in message ... to read this group, just so I can have a killfile to eliminate that crossposting moron Min. The lousy new google beta pushed me over the edge. Wow!! OE really lets you get rid of cross-posted crap?? WMConnect is supposed to, but I get messages with as many as 6 or 7 NG's!! I hope the OE has better hacker protection than it used to, though! Clear, Dark, Steady Skies! (And considerate neighbors!!!) |

I use X-News, too, for downloading from astro binaries
group. (And some other binaries *ahem* occasionally), because it has yenc decoding built in, OE does not. (Or didn't last I heard, and MS was saying they weren't going to put it in). However, there is an add-on that decodes yenc through OE. But I like the X-News GUI better, but I don't find it particularily useful for regular text newsgroups. But I guess it's better than OE, and definitely better than the new Google beta. Ya know, this is the first real misstep I can remember Google making. They've been flawless up to now...
