I am quite certain that Usenet posts don't wake people up even in Poland. Xnews has an excellent scorefile-based killfile system. Why don't you simply filter out the posts that you dislike? I just checked the last 1,000 posts in this newsgroup, and I see that you have failed to post a single word on the topic of embedded systems. 100% of your output consists of complaining. Your complaints use up more bandwidth than the ads you complain about do. Here, for the second time, I give you The Standard Advice. You can ignore it if you wish, but if you do I will killfile you for being a chronic timewaster, and I wouldn't be surprised if others do the same. THE STANDARD ADVICE: There is a way to influence what gets discussed in a newsgroup that works well, and another way that has never worked no matter how many people have tried it. What works: Post articles on the topic you wish to see discussed, and participate in the resulting discussion. Use killfiles and filters so that you don't see the articles that you dislike. If you don't know how to use a killfile, use good old fashioned discipline and don't read the articles that you dislike. Never, ever respond to articles that you dislike. What doesn't work: Respond to articles that you dislike, complain about articles that you dislike, complain about posters that you dislike, complain about how terrible everyone else is for not posting what you want them to post. Talk about how to respond to articles that you dislike. Make the articles that you dislike the center of attention, the main topic of discussion, and a personal crusade.
