- Kill files or filters are very helpful. Or, if you can list the
- article titles/authors with your software, it also helps you avoid
- the done-to-death topics/authors.

- I think routine X-posting needs to be avoided. I haven't deliberately
- X-posted to soc.men in a very long time, but find the endless
- X-posts to rave...ahh, talk.abortion much more tiresome.

- Happy New Year!
