The problem was that Thunderbird does not support killfiles when used as a
newsreader. Leafnode adds filtering capabilities which Thunderbird
(supposedly) does not have.

I'm trying gnus again, and immediately see the beauty of it. Actually Usenet is fast and commercial free, and easier to secure from prying NSA etc al (?) so maybe it will receive a general revival eventually.
