Sean F (F2) as spam

I get a lot out of this group but less now that a huge number of posts are initiated by Mr. Sean F (F2). I understand that there are ways to filter out these posts and tips on how to so are welcome. Also, in the past posts could be flagged as spam and we no longer seem to be able to do that. There would be value in the group as a whole being able to identify individuals with internet personality disorders and restricting the amount of posts they are able to inflict on the group.

You have your choice of News Readers to read RAS and some of them allow you to
filter individual posters. RAS is fundamentally just data. A News Reader is a tool to display and interact with that data.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsreader_%28Usenet%29

Google Groups (a News Reader for RAS) allows you to report topics as "abuse" for the "other" reason and this hides the topic, but only for you. Once a number of people report the thread as "abuse" it is flagged for other users (but only in some news readers.) You have to pay for the corporate version of Google Groups to obtain the functionality of filtering individual posters (so a free news reader is a good option).

Poke around in the options for your News Reader and you may find what you're looking for. It's worth the effort to learn how if you spend any time at all on RAS.

Use Google to search for "News Reader" to find out more. There are lots of articles that review the various tools (aka News Readers).

On the contrary,I welcome F2's posts. Sean is a fiddler...of new technology and is dedicated to share his experiences. His outstanding videos are educational and entertaining; they have taken many pilots where they would never dare to tread. Please let us know when you get your filter program sorted out; I would like to use it for RAS contributions such as yours.

If you are a Windows user I suggest to download and try Forte Free Agent,
which is fully functional except that it has no killfile. If you like it,
stump up the $30 for Forte Agent, which does have an excellent killfile
capability. You don't even need a second download: plugging in the
license code turns Free Agent into Agent. It also covers you for future
releases and upgrades.

Back when I used Windows I tried a number of newsreaders and Agent was
easily the best of the bunch.

Since switching to Linux I use and can recommend the Pan newsreader,
which may also be available for Apple machines.

Where are his videos posted? Do you have a link to one or more?
Thanks

Brian, Its funny that you talk about value in the group and you start a thread solely for the purpose of insulting someone. Soaring is a small community and this could provide for some awkward moments when we are all at the convention having dinner and drinks during the evening banquets. Relax.
