and other such topics isn't beginning to make the S/N ratio bad. It's
getting a little difficult to find the ON topic posts.
Actually for me the problem is that I pay by the amount of bandwidth that I
use. Believe it or not all these OT posts put together costs me money.
I think the best way to deal with this (in a band width efficient manner) is
to subscribe to this mailing list through gmane newsgroup interface and
then use knode -> Scoring -> Ignore thread. That way I do not even download
those posts.
That's an *excellent* idea.
I hate gmane (or maybe just it's web interface). d-u is dual-ported
to news:linux.debian.user. That's what I'd use.
