filter out the trolls and you'll find this to be a very informative

Can I add to Chilla and Steve's post that if you block any post that is
Xposted to more than 2 groups you will also get rid of a lot of the
political and race related flaming that sometimes occurs.
I must admit when someone replies to the 3 Stooges/Trolls and you see
what they have wrote to get that answer because it has not been cut, it is
very tempting to have the odd flame at them knowing whatever they answer
back with is just going into the ether.Dave, using Thunderbird, how do you block posts that are cross posted?
I'm not particularly interested in the political or religious arguments.
For that matter, I'm not particularly interested in MOST cross posted
post!! They tend to be cross posted just to incite the flaming. How do
we block them? Thanks.Steve Kramer

Say Hey Stevie:
You will not be able to block cross postings. Your reason for wanting
to do so is because cross posting is bringing the truth to those who
so eagerly await for news of getting Steve Kramer squared away and
rightfully so.
5555 Yee-Haw !!
