Finally decided me - I'm off

Not that many of you will give a toss (maybe Martin? ;-)), but I'm buggering
off from rte. Used to be a great place to go to for, and to offer, advice,
but it's now just a dumping ground for certain posters' puerile trash.

TripAdvisor forums - that's the place to be, I reckon. Maybe see some of you
there.

A tout a l'heure,

Ian

Indeed! There must be SOME way of eliminating all the bigoted garbage
bad mouthing the American president and "discussing" American politics
favoring the fascist viewpoint! True, one can simply scroll past it,
but there seems to be so MUCH of it, lately. (Usually cross-posts
involving groups that have nothing to do with European travel.)

I'm having the same doubts - the reminder just arrived last week from
individual.net for the annual subscription. Is it really worth while
continuing with newsgroups?

If your newsreader supports killing on crossposts, getting rid of PJ et al,
is fairly simple.

Can't you set your newsreader to ignore/delete crossposts? Do that and 90%
of it's gone. Then add a few suspects to your killfile and that's 90% of
the remaining rubbish.

At €10/year are you kidding?

At €0/century forums are cheaper. It's not that I'm a skinflint, it's
just I ask myself why I pay for the privilege of being subjected to the
ramblings of unhinged right-wing geriatrics.

I have Thunderbird - is there an add-on to kill x-posts?

I've got Agent set to ignore cross posts. That gets rid of most of it.

I see you use Forte.

You help to encourage it yourself by replying to some of these posts with
your reply also cross-posted to all the inappropriate groups.

Can't you at least remove the cross-posting from your replies?
