part two --delete Roff

"Joe McIntosh" wrote in message
...
just realized that when I delete one news group all other news groups are
also deleted-----after nine years of using this thing I still learn
something every day.

Just think of all the wonderful salmagundi that I have wasted.

Any suggestions of a method of deleting all Roff mess without wiping out
other newsgroups? I use AT&T world


jOE

thanks for all the suggestions--I will try to understand them tomorrow PM
( got to college in AM-just like OPIE}
but think I need to explain what I'm doing now---
read messages on a newsgroup- roff- bass fishing etc--then want to delete so
I hit
Tools-Options-Maintenance-clean up now-delete-yes-close- ok
Is there another way to delete all read messages on a newsgroup? The
problem ( I have just realized } is that this method deletes all other
unread newsgroups.

Please realize that when you send suggestions for better methods you are
writing to an old indian who never was even any good at starting the fire
under the blanket ! Keep it simple- thanks
again Joe

In the left pane, right click the group name, click
properties/local files

Joe, just do as rt suggests. Click on the pane that contains your "inbox"
"outbox" "sent items" etc., ect., and go to the newsgroups section.
Right-Click on the newsgroup that you want to clear-out, select
"properties". The box that opens will have a file named "Local Files."
Click on it. There you will find several options--four to be exact--choose
"delete," if you want to rid yourself of all the threads and messages in
that newsgroup. I usually click on "Compact" after I have deleted. Don't
worry, you will receive new and old threads as they arrive.

Now go to bed and wake up fresh for class in the morn!

Op --12 of 16 journal articles read--300 or so pages--on third party
issues. Must download a ****-pot load again tomorrow :~^ O --

Dude... what you really want is not to see uninteresting usenet
posts.... you don't really care if you delete them or not, you just
don't want to be troubled by them any more.

your goal is so close... close your eyes and find your happy place...
imagine a world where useless Usenet posts trouble you no more... you
open Outlook Express, and you only see new posts... (no more wading the
riffles)

repeat the following mantra:

*I don't care where they go, I just don't want to see them anymore*
.....

Your path:
Click on "View" in your top tool bar, select
"Current View", then "Hide Read Messages".

Once this is done, and while in a news group (such as ROFF), Go back to
the top tool bar,
select "Edit", then "Mark All Read"... sit back, play that Regina
Spektor .MP3 you've been saving for moments like this, uncork that
bottle of 2002 APEX Winery Syrah you have hidding in the laundry room,
and relish the moment of::::::::: no more uninteresting Usenet posts.

*** this is where you never have to be troubled by Uniteresting Usenet
posts again***

(they may still be there, but you don't see then, it's as if, they
don't exist)

option 2)

Uplug the computer, place it carefully in the box it came in, call UPS,
ship it back where it came from.

Soooo.... What's your progress so far..... I ask because much of my
working day concerns users interfacing with GUI's... (Graphical User
Interfaces) did you accomplish your goal?
Did you get rid of all the flotsam?

post your progress...
