So you enjoy reading spam and messages from trolls?  Since my newsreader
program isn't especially good at filtering out the spammers and trolls who
keep changing their return addresses, I'd prefer to have the newsgroups
arrive with them already filtered out.

I've already created about 1000 rules to filter out unwanted posts
from those who don't keep changing their return addresses.
