What if we started each thread with the title "DIABETES - Subject" to
separate our posts from the spam.  I'll try this one to see what it looks
like.

It's just one idea. Maybe somebody can think of something even better.

Well, it's something else for people to remember to try to do. But, if we
were going to, then, why not do DM, like

DM/ Socks
DM/ FBGs

etc.

But, don't anyone use an indicator or abbreviation or acronym followed by a
colon & then a space & then the rest. The indicator, anything before the
colon, will be stripped out in first replies by a bunch of software, like
the Windows newsreaders started it & some others have followed suit. Use
another symbol besides a colon, / . - , or even just no symbol: just a
space!

That would be easier, I guess. I figured the whole word would be easier to
spot in all the garbage, though.

Getting a kill-file is a heck of a lot easier. What spam? I get maybe
4 a day.

For extra effect, send it to a few hundred newsgroups.... : )

I actually copied a diabetes related thread to sci.electronics.repair, a
newsgroup I look at occasionally. I hope they forgave me.....

Uh... well, I never heard it put that way, but if that's the  euphemism in
your part of the country...
