Sigh. No lessons learned from USENET?

Just ignore what you don't want to read. Maybe a killfile feature is missing here, but basically, just hit the "Back" button.

    Oh I learned plenty from USENET over the many years I read it daily, and I still do read it from time to time when I can. Alas, even with killfiles it's often just too much noise and not enough signal to make it worthwhile anymore. My ideal is that a site like this could and would be different, something like the difference between open and moderated newsgroups, but I guess that is not to be. I hear you, I appreciate the advice, and I'll start ignoring them.

    If there's something to be learned from USENET, it should be the various ways that USENET could be improved upon. A little probing in that direction isn't a bad thing.
