Sometimes the problem is less disruptive than the cure. I feel this way
a lot when reading news.groups and news.admin.
Volume in alt.sources is not that high. The 'n' key works, and rn users
can even use 'k' or 'K' to nuke the thread.
I would recommend an alt.sources monthly posting, but we do that over in
comp.sys.amiga* and still get a lot of postings where people are obviously
coming into the group for the first time and blasting off a request without
scanning through the message base at all.
So it's sort of a net-wide problem with unmoderated groups, anyway...
