Right, that kind of answers my reply to another thread about filtering.
(save you writing agian there, if you mught) Unfortunatley everyone
would have to know about flooding and filters and be prepared for a bit
of work in a new ng. And they wouldn't bother. Crosspost filters would
work, as another poster said, and this would apply equally to remailed
crossposts. Wouldn't it?
I didn't understand why they need to sit in a dead home ng. What benefit
is there to that?
