Site Monitoring
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. Maureen |

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. Lizzy |

Even if one uses Google groups, there's an addon you can get for Firefox that filters them. |
