Those of us with adequate kilfiles and such filters are blissfully
unaware of a problem, if there is one.
Pretty please, can it stay that way?

No! Because someone always will respond and their response will get
past your filters.
Not needed, on the first sign of a troll post I set the thread to
ignore. Saves a lot of unwanted posts and reading.
Linux distributions have newsreaders which can kill on a few headers,
Organisation, Message-ID, References, etc. I don't know if windows newsreaders
can do the same. OTOH there is also Leafnode, an NNTP Server, which can kill
posts on *any* header including headers in the "Path".
When I used to use windows (98SE was my last), there was a similar application
which I used, Nfilter. It's a long time since I used it, but I'm told, by some
windows users, that it's now News-Proxy:

In Leafnode filters are set to kill a troll or spammer on a header that it can't
change, & any responses to it are killed by filtering on the "References"
header. It can also filter on any group the troll/spammer crossposts to, which
also kills any posts & responses.
Consequently I don't see any further garbage from them.
It would appear that this News-Proxy application is able to do the same in
windows.
