Wow, what happened to this site? I've been away for a long time but now that I'm back I'm seeing one message for every ten to twenty adverts. This site should be monitored to keep the advertisiers out. :(

As this is an unmoderated usenet newsgroup it is not possible to prevent advertisers from posting here. However, by using a filtered newsfeed or using the filtering options in your news reader it should be possible to prevent most of the adverts & spam reaching your eyes.
I read using Thunderbird as my news reader and block as many ads as I can with that.

Right, if you use a good newsserver they filter out most of them; I only see 3 or 4 a week, maybe. Even if one uses Google groups, there's an addon you can get for Firefox that filters them.
Maureen many of the regular writers moved out to a closed moderated group , after a nasty `flood of nasty ofensive posts . Was there any knitting or crochet matter that you wanted to discuss? mirjam
