The only way I can control them on my computer (no-one
else's) is to block the posters (which asks me if I want
all the messages removed). Occasional crossposting is not
good (although easy to miss at times - done it myself)
but incessant spamming of three different groups with
effectively the same old crap over and over again stinks,
IMO.

Outlook Express marks a cross-post as being read on all conferences when
it is read on any of them. I have the OE timeout set to zero seconds so I
don't actually have to read stuff to get it marked as being read.

If Jooty wants to yank Pinky's chain (again and
again and again) and he's daft enough to let him then
fine, but not dragging half of audio usenet into all the
time - I don't want someone else choosing what ngs I get
to read!! Ain't hard to comprehend, is it?

I agree with you in principle - I just have a different way to manage it.

Now, having swapped machines over, I've got them all back
again!

That's because your changes weren't global enough, which was my original
point.



Arny, I've no clue what you are describing. I've given up on it - if
everyone is happy to crosspost all over the place then sod it, let 'em....

(If it's a choice between crossposted or *dead* in here, I'll take
crossposted...!! ;-)
