If there is someone posting in a newsgroup and you don't want to read
their posts, use your newsreader's tools to 'block sender', 'killfile',
'plonk', 'bizi bin', 'twit filter', or whatever.
Bit hard to do that when someone quotes the text in replies. In that case,
I would find myself killfilling the majority.
Some newsreaders let you kill threads or sub-threads. But if the posters
that the majority don't like aren't being replied to be the majority, that
particular problem pretty much vanishes. Some things need a community
effort.
