whatever you're using to read news, just put a filter in to delete his

round was as MI5, so you may need to add filter rules later on. Another
option, altho I don't recommend it, is to filter any DNS address that
ends with .uk


Often the nym-shifting nutcases will be using some sort of anonymous
remailer, so just killfiling the entire domain is the best thing to do...
For some reason, the anonymous remailers tend to attract this sort of
individual... With the Pan newsreader, you can also filter on substrings
in the MessageId field... This helps cut down on the rules in certain
cases where the nutcase is nym-shifting the domain in the From field since
the MessageId field still contains the original domain... A really good
newsreader would allow you to filter on any of the fields in the NNTP
headers... Unfortunately, I haven't found one yet that allows that much
flexibility, but at least Pan gives me more flexibility than Outlook
Express...
