We go in circles here. NNTP is be default organzed in threads. You don't open a topic that you are not interested in, even if the thread has 500 messages. Nothing to filter. People already pointed out that you can do the same with IMAP, that gmail does the same in the web interface. People that use this features don't need to complain of to much noise. It is the rest that complaints of noise. With having mailing list as default way of communication this rest is bigger than necessary. End. Al
