[Pan-users] error: plonked posters posts' showing up as new

[David Chmelik]

Usenet may again be a little better than it was in mid-to-late 1990s in 
terms of spam--some newsgroups have no spam--but unfortunately once again 
others still are almost all spam.

So, I have a large killfile again and will be plonking more advertisers/
pr0n & drug & weapons dealers, trolls, proselytizer religious fanatics, 
etc..

However I noticed what often happens is I get a large number updates.  I 
go to those groups then see sometimes all posts are by plonked posters 
with spam subject lines... just for a split-second, then disappear.

Since I'm now subscribed to over 1000 newsgroups (if you add Usenet and 
Gmane) seeing all those false updates wastes considerable time.

Shouldn't the logic be fixed to omit those before they ever even get 
counted as updates, so you don't waste a lot of time still seeing dozens 
spam updates?
