As I recall when I looked before, that newsreader sucks. Nothing at
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/software.../wvnguide.html about
defining rules or filters. That means you will waste time with lots of
posts that are spam, trolls, ranting children, diary entries, off-topic
posts, malcontents, cross-posts to flame or garbage groups, fanatics
(religious, Windows, Linux, etc), and other undesirable posts or the
sources for them. You can't even filter out the Google Groupers to get
rid of the major source of Usenet spam. Start reconsidering what
newsreader you use to participate in Usenet.

You're screwed until you get a newsreader where you can define rules to
filter out the noise.
