My filters work very well, Mr. Duniho. The fact is I don't want to junk
the thread. I am interested in Hilton's point and the replies that are to
the point. It is the rest of the political gibberish to which I take
umbrage.

Then use a news reader that has a more flexible way to filter messages. To
expect the Usenet community to conform to YOUR desire is unreasonable.
Thread drift is an inevitable fact of life on nearly every newsgroup.

In a perfect world, every newsgroup would stay 100% on topic 100% of the
time. But then, in a perfect world we wouldn't have aircraft accidents to
make Hilton angry either. You've been around long enough to know that a
post like yours isn't going to accomplish a single thing.

How? What newsreader? Enlighten us, please?

No, it is you who are unreasonable. You, and others, need to use some self
discipline and restraint, and keep from going down those roads.

It is not just Casey's desire. There are many here who are tired of the
political hijacking, and religion too.

It does not have to be inevitable. It's members can make it stop, by not
replying.

She is angry about an aviation problem, not a political problem. Don't
change it to make everything political.

Ahh, but one can hope, and one can surely voice their disapproval.
