   It might be a good idea, but if it has a horrible editor as Soupdragon says,   
   I don't know. You could try it and see how it works out I suppose. I don't   
   have a problem with posts from trolls on SCS. I put posters whose posts I   
   didn't want to see on my blocked list and most times never see their posts.   
   Most mail/news readers block out posts you are not interested in. I've used   
   Outlook express and I never see most of the posts from trolls or others who   
   are semi-trolls :) I use Win XP for my mail and news, but for Win 7 and up   
   you could use another mail/news reader such as Firefox or others.
