Opinions are different. Mark Kovarski's postings are among those that
I usually read. He is one of the few that from time to time gives
usefull information. I do not have a "kill file", since I read News
from a News server at University of Oslo. But I get a list of all new
postings, and choose to read only a few.

There must be some people who are either hired or are volunteering as
NT salesmen. They write so much, and it is only the "Pie in the sky"
promises about NT. I will not give names, but I skip your messages.

Strangely enough, I spent much more time reading the OS/2 news-groups
when there was only a few messages each day. There was many well
informed postings by people like Larry Salomon (who is again active on
the net), Bert Moshier, Tim Sipples, Larry Margolis, Kai Uwe Rommel,
and a few others (I do not remember all the names). Now it is very
much noise, and not too much usefull information. In addition to the
names given, I usually read Steve Witherspoon, David Charlap, David
Lewine and a few others.
