A recent post called Boycott Gettysburg was completely off topic here since it has absolutely nothing to do with wine or anything closely related to it. This message, with some possible variation in earlier versions, has been cross posted to well over 100 groups since May of this year, and most of these groups have absolutely no connection with the subject of the post.

I wish there were a way to delete *all* cross-posted messages while using Outlook Express. I don't think I'd miss very much of value. The relevance to wine did escape me :-)

James, if you are using OE, it is so easy to block senders - thus dramatically reducing the number of cross-posted messages.
Since this bombardment of afw started, my Blocked Senders list now totals 88 (any and everyone who posts this rubbish gets included on the list) - and I do note a dramatic reduction of these off-topic posts appearing.
