Yeah I saw that. Yet he doesn't know how to use a news reader. Is he
simple?

I use different newsreaders for different things. Thunderbird lets me
plonk someone by marking their post as read then deletes it when I go
out of the group and back in again. I went through the entire setup menu
and examined *all* possibilities and deleting them before I can see the
headers is not an option.

Bull***, Bill. You have your filter set up to "Mark as read". That's
why it appears (as read), and then is gone the next time you open
Thunderbird. If you would just fucking listen to those telling you how
to do it, you would change that option to "Delete message" and never see
the posts in the first place. How fucking stupid can you be?

I use Linux, Ubuntu at the moment and there is a newsreader called Pan
that will not even display the plonked headers. It has a nice feature
that Thunderbird does not and that is to establish a cutoff on how many
cross posts can be in a thread before it kills them too. I set it at

No ***, Bill. Any real newsreader can do simple *** like this, and Pan
can do a *LOT* more than that.

only 2 so I don't get the spam broadcast messages. I do know how to use
all newsreaders available but having too many gets complicated too. I
may just transfer my kill files to it and be done with all the noise.

No, you clearly do *NOT* know how to use "all newsreaders available".
You don't even know how to properly use the ONE that you use! Get a
fucking clue, you ignorant stooge.
