The killfile I set in Agent has cut down the clutter a lot by zapping post directly from the abusers posting to the hate Americans threads. A couple of lines in the message list still crop up each time I access the group though, because some decent guys coudn't resist the urge to reply and flame the bastards. I know the temptation is strong, but...... Be aware that every time somebody replies, the lid comes off the garbage pail and some maggots get out. Think about it: the maggots aren't going to go away, but you can keep this pestilence from polluting the newsgroup if you don't lift the lid on the garbage pail.
