Sewer? I think not. Its no worse than these groups and a good killfile
takes care of that. Not to mention the forums are a mess, tons of noise,
very little info. and you can't killfile that mess!

I agree. Using a killfile well takes care of a lot (but not all) of
such problems.

Yes, you can killfile there too. Use the NNTTP Bridge to participate
in the forums, and you can then use the killfile in your newsreader.
