I stop in to this NG a couple times a month for info pertaining to SW
listening and equipment.
Lately, it seems that most of the posts pertain to everything but SW.
I'm forced to wade thru a huge pile of BS just to find any meaningful
posts.

When I started Outlook Express this afternoon and clicked
rec.radio.shortwave, the status bar said "226 messages" not
downloaded. My killfile, filters and ignored threads reduced
the total that showed up to 88. (or 39% of what was waiting).
Not bad.

I still get some "BS", but I don't argue with 61% less than
I would had to wade through.

PLONK those who offend you, ignore the threads that have
nothing to do with what you are interested in. If you don't know
how... tell us your newsreader and someone who uses the
same one will explain what to do.
