I have been using Hogwasher for about a year. There are several issues in that in crashes frequently (seveal times a month) when d/l newsgroups. There are certain newsgroups it will just not d/l correctly. You must unsubscribe and resubscribe to get them to d/l. I have the problem consistantly with one newsgroup although all the others work reasonably well. The doumentation is sketchy when it comes to filters, I think they basically should redo the doc on filters. Support is flakey, IMO. I submitted a question when I first got the product and never did gety a responce back,. A few months ago I got a reply within two days. I almost decided not to purchase it but my friend talked me into it. The number one item (besides stability) that needs to be worked on is documentation and examples.

Having said that it does work (when it works correctly) .
