    Depending on your newsreader, it is not difficult to construct
a kill file that can kelp you separate the wheat from the chaff.
    There's a brief article in the FAQ on how to do it for rn and trn.
If you want to know how to do it in nn, try typing :man, and look at the
entry on Kill files. If you're reading with waffle, you have my sympathies.

    I really don't think there's enough volume in the entire ST group to
warrant splitting it. You can always do what many people have, and just
unsubscribe to .st and read st.tech. If enough people did that, it would
leave the general atari group for those who like these kinds of discussions.
