And what the stats do *not* show is how many of those were
cross-posted to multiple groups. I'll bet that most of them were.

I've left the list of the top ten cross-posted newsgroups left
quoted, after trimming most of the rest.

If you configure your newsreader (with a capable newsreader) to
mark articles cross-posted to three or more newsgroups (hint, count the
commas in the "Newsgroups: " header) you will seen almost none of this.
I typically get 30-60 articles per day, out of 300+ per day before the
killfile runs.

I don't think that I ever saw most of those subjet lines long
enough to add them to my killfile. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

Is such a filter possible to setup in Thunderbird?

Ignore the part about importing into Zimba.

I've been using the "K" for the buggers, and it certainly does kill each
bug once it gets sprayed.

I don't know for sure. I use a dedicated program for unix/linux
systems as a newsreader -- currently slrn, and others earlier. Each has
its own strong points, and I particularly like how the killfile
(actually "scoring", which allows me to boost the score for some things
such as to negate the cross posting on the weekly puzzles posts, which
are cross-posted to three newsgroups.

You'll need to get information from others about what can be
done with Thunderbird.

Good Luck,

Not sure how to filter 3 or more groups at once, but this is how I set
up a filter for any crossposted messages, works well to stop the crap
posters.

Open the filters dialogue box & be sure you are in alt.metalworking.

Click the arrow next to box that says "Subject" & choose "customize'
from the dropdown options. A box will pop up, type in "newsgroups" &
click OK.

Close & reopen the filter dialogue box , this makes "newsgroups" appear
as an option in the dropdown box, choose it.

Leave the middle box as "contains"

In the blank box enter just a single Comma
Below where it says "Perform these actions" choose "delete message"

Not as emotionally satisfying as a good hanging, but it works ok.
