If you have the option of using a newsreader like Agent instead of
relying on the filterless Google Groups interface, it is easy to
greatly reduce the annoyance by merely globally plonking both of the
parties involved. IMO, nothing of value is lost in the process.Agent also has the nicety of letting you add in limited-time kill file
entries. Highly recommended for those who just might occasionally
post something worth reading, but who are getting on your nerves.But any decent news reader will have some flavor of kill files to let
you ignore the Vandermans and Dolans. It's hard to imagine usenet
without one.
It is hard to imagine Usenet without the likes of Great Geniuses like Mike
Vandeman and Ed Dolan. However, we could easily dispense with your humble
services. Who needs nervous nellies like yourself. But if you wish to be a
lamb to my lion ...
