Wow, what happened to this site? I've been away for a long time but now
that I'm back I'm seeing one message for every ten to twenty adverts.
This site should be monitored to keep the advertisiers out. :(

As this is an unmoderated usenet newsgroup it is not possible to prevent
advertisers from posting here. However, by using a filtered newsfeed or
using the filtering options in your news reader it should be possible to
prevent most of the adverts & spam reaching your eyes.

I read using Thunderbird as my news reader and block as many ads as I
can with that.

Right, if you use a good newsserver they filter out most of them; I only
see 3 or 4 a week, maybe. Even if one uses Google groups, there's an
addon you can get for Firefox that filters them.

Maureen many of the regular writers moved out to a closed moderated
group , after a nasty `flood of nasty ofensive posts .
Was there any knitting or crochet matter that you wanted to discuss?
