You're asking this question because you're using the web interface to
these Usenet newsgroups; this is the worst, clunkiest way to access
newsgroups you could pick. Instead, you should set up a real newsreader
which is very easy to do. Then you can set your own specifications for
how to see things, how long/many posts to see and keep, etc. Here is
information to help you with that:
Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you
already have it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
