~500 Foley threads in last 24 hours. Can someone describe a way...

[Poll_Blind]

...I can make these go away when I look at DU? A few days ago, there were only something like 30. After searching on Foley, I went through manually and ignored them all. Nothing against the topic, per se, I just want to see what else DU's talking about.

  Are there any tricks to doing a mass ignore or in some other way filtering OUT, say, any message with "Foley" in it?

  Can I use an operator like ! (not) or something similar in a search so that results, no matter what else they are, don't contain "Foley". I still realize there's going to be a lot of Foley-infected threads but that's not such a big deal to getting at what other meat DU is chewing on right now.

Thanks!

2. You will have to hide the threads as you come across them, I think.

Or just give it a break for awhile.

6. It isn't any worse than seven different threads

all about the same thing, all with the same title, and presumably all with the same text. That happened earlier today. Codepink was bragging about four years of activism. Good for them. But it was still overkill. As is the Foley thing.

I know there are a lot of them, but we need to keep this in the news at least 5weeks

We must show America the truth about Republicans

They understand this kind of sleeze

They are too ignorant to understand illegal invasions (Iraq), illegal spying, etc.
