Default Newsgroup help

I haven't read here in a while but I a shocked by the amount of trash posted
here. I have a filter but you have to add subjects and personally these people
have more words than I can think of. Plus I have to add the words to list list
for each newsgroup. Any suggestions on how to see less of this crap?

Zone Alarm - filters out most of the junk.

Look into a better newsreader? I believe AoL permits the use of third-party
software to access newsgroups. If you don't want to spend money on one, the
free Mozilla Web browser has pretty good filtering that you can apply
across all the groups you read; I very rarely see Usenet spam these days.
It's also an excellent browser, with pop-up blocking and other security
features built in.

Good luck. It's not just this newsgroup, it's Usenet at large.
