If you post from googlegroups, aioe, or uar, please post a test
message so I can clear you in my nfilters.

It's getting tedious checking all filtered-out posts for good guy/bad
guy ;-)

You probably won't see this, as I post via aioe.org, but it is much simpler
NOT to use filters, especially with for example Agent or any other reader that
gets the headers first, as you have to select the headers you are interested in
anyways.
You now likely have posted more of those filter related messages, then anything
electronics.
Else the situation you wind up with is that you have killfiled everybody else,
BUT the spammers, as THOSE change config all the time.

No. A blanket "drop", but with "good guy" exceptions, of aioe is
working great.

What I'm finding remarkable, as I check message ID's, is the gross
number of forgeries via googlegroups.

Well, I normally do not even look where it is posted from.
If I see an interesting discussion, and do not have the OP for
some reason (erased it), I go to google groups and look it up,
and then reply from there.
If aioe.org is down I go to datemas.de, but datemas.de was not
even reachable in this weekend,
I have about <lemme see> 33 groups current, of which I follow 11 actively,
all without filters enabled, takes about 10 minutes to make a selection
each morning from about 1000 new headers.
Try us.politics, Obama's speech on race is there (link).
Now here is an interesting viewpoint :-).
Then there is sci.physics, with 90% noise, 9 % anti-Einstein, and the rest
may contain news, etc, sci.astro, etc.
Now how much time you spend fiddling with filters I dunno, but if it is more then 10 minutes
a day, then lemme say it this way: The brain is a zillion neuron computer, I do not
even see them spammers anymore.
An other interesting thing is that both datemas.de AND aioe.org seem to filter spam!
