I subscribe to this newsgroup, then usually junk all articles without

regulars spend more time troll feeding yads than posting on Doctor Who.
This is one of Usenet's worst newsgroups for off-topic crap.

Of course, if you truly wanted to read on topic content, you yourself
would have to regularly post quite a bit of it yourself and hope on
topic threads would result. As you're unwilling to do that yourself,
then you contribute to the problem you've identified.

Since I personally despise all of this newsgroup's regulars for the
nonstop troll feeding of yads (and previously, of Tim), I will continue
to subscribe simply as a method of cleaning out the unwanted crossposts
from newsgroups I care about.

How in Hell does your reading garbage HERE stop that same garbage being cross-posted elsewhere??

 It says "junk all articles without reading".

Yes, but that does not stop that message from having been cross-posted to other groups .... where OTHER people CAN read it IF THEY WANT TO!!

Depending on the newsreader app and how those posts are being 'junked', getting rid of them from one newsgroup also gets rid of them from any cross-posted newsgroup as well.

Yeap but not my SeaMonkey Suite ... as I explained elsewhere.

Similarly, reading a post in one newsgroup will remove it from the unread lists of other cros-posted newsgroups.
 Filters / killfiles will do the same, unless you've set it to be specific to a particular newsgroup.

Yeap!!
