I have an old computer with Windows ME and Internet Explorer and I use Google Groups to view this group. Can someone give me easy directions on how to filter out some of the junk we are getting. I know there is a way to filter, but don't know how to implement the filtering.
TIA

Hi Bob
set up outlook express to view your news groups then use the filter options in it to filter the groups or select message block sender in outlook express message dropdown, Di you get that unit running I sent you the schmetic for?

If you're using Google Groups I doubt you do anything about it.
Get a proper news server.

Bob,
I suggest getting a real news server. A vast majority of the users on this group are filtering Everything from Google so no one will read your posts. I have Google filtered on my other computer, I just haven't got around to doing it on this one. Once I do I won't see your posts anymore. You have At&t right? Why not use their usenet server news://netnews.worldnet.att.net/ Set it up in xnews, or outlook.

Your headers show a Gecko browser.
Google's *As long as we are making money* attitude has many folks getting real newsreaders and real providers. In that vein, there's a lot of discussion lately about proxy filters like Hamster and nfilter as well.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll try one or more of them next week when I should have a couple of hours to experiment.

Ditto what others have already said get a real news reader and use your ISP's Usenet server - you are already paying for it. Your privacy is better protected, and it is a lot easier to use.
I can't see your post, just the replies - if Google won't act to eliminate their spam, users will.
