OK, I'll take the bait - and give a *real* reply...

Just filter out messages with such words in them, and from certain
senders who post nothing but abuse.
You will find that the group goes very quiet... there is very little
real CB content.

I have included my filter figures below.

Exactly Peter you will not see any messages from steve/moped, no posts from
landfag, no posts from dickiehead cranium, no posts from twithed related to
cb they all contain little or no cb content. Bet on it they are consumed
trolls. you got that shot right

Well, in total, 66% of this newsgroup is easily filterered crap. I would
say that at least another 25% is a bit harder to filter by subject, but is
crap just the same.
Look through the figures below, you will see that I do not read much from
many of the people on here. OK, so I read less than 1% of twisty's posts...
but, whatever you come out smelling of - they won't be using to make
perfume, that's for sure.

Until you change your "nic", you are generally in my filter by name, as are
several other posters on this group - purely because the posts are rarely of
any benefit to the group or readers. When you change your "nic", the new
one goes in the filter. Your posts may not be as offensive as certain
people on here, but it is almost all just arguments.

For the useful content in their posts, I may as well do the same with
Richard Cranium, Chim Bubba, and Twistedhed. Nothing against the
chaps, just that I don't have the time to drudge through megabytes of
crap looking for that one good post.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Now, for the figures...

I put many subjects in the filter, incuding for sale and Ebay subjects.
The following figures relate to messages which appeared on my news server
between 11th November and 2nd December. Name blocking was switched off,
with subject blocking only.
