I take it you are using GoogleGroups to access this... You'll have to consider that not everything on GoogleGroups is a "Google" "group". They mirror many Usenet newsgroups -- of which comp.lang.ada is one. Traditionally, if a Usenet newsgroup was moderated, it would have a .moderated in the name. Newsreaders, accessing using a NNTP news server, typically contain some means of filtering posts (unfortunately, the one I use only permits filtering on subject or author ). While I can easily killfile posts with "@gmail.com", it is more complicated to then go back and allow specific addresses (in truth, I've never tried). -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/
