I use outlook express to monitor these Microsoft newsgroups. Some of the
ones I use seem to have too much stuff and since I only care to keep a copy
of my old posts, so I don't ask the same dumb question twice, I am in the
process of copying only these posts into a separate folder. Then I delete
all the old posts, except mine, in the newsgroup, say monthly. This seem to
help immeasurably with the daily re-load time of OE newsgroups, which was
becoming a big problem. However, there is one newsgroup, windowxp.general
where the number of threads is almost 1 million, only 7 of which are mine.
I would like to save them also, but when ever I highlight that newsgroup,
even when I get it to go as far as only showing just my 7 threads, OE become
non-responsive. I have tried it many times. I suppose the best thing would
be to simply try to delete the newsgroup - I'm not sure it will even let me
do that - and resubscribe, but how do I stop it from downloading 1 million
threads again. Also, will I be able to get my seven threads back?

Help, please.
