If you are tired of reading a
particular poster's style... then killfile .. filter him out.

I have 'plonked' BWB but all of 'you' keep including his filth in your
posts back to him. Have you ever used the insert "----clip----"? I'm
sure he knows what he wrote so you telling him back in your reply is
redundant.

Depending on your news reader, just mark the thread to be ignored.
That is a real handy feature of agent.

For some reason I turned on "read all messages" instead of just the
unread ones. (I think it was to find the beginning of some thread),
but anyways... I discovered threads still running that I had marked
"ignore" over 6 months ago. LOL


I have been looking for a program that will eliminate any quote of a
individual after I 'plonk' him but haven't found one yet.

I just plonk the thread. Usually once it reaches the point where I
want to get rid of a poster I am about ready to get rid of the thread
as well.

Due to the variations of news readers and the way posters quote, or
use quotes it'd be almost impossible to program a filter to remove the
quoted text from just a specific poster when it is included.

If you want 'filth' on the News Group, then I can forward some of the
porno spam I get every day in my mail box, so you will have something
to read when BWB isn't posting. Let me know.

I have my e-mail set to display as text only so I never see any of
those any more. Just about 15 adds for Viagra and another 15 or so
that I know what I'd find if I did turn on HTML. :-))
Oh, and the 5 or 10, or 20 get rich quick schemes and the 4 or 5 South
African scams and variations there of. Oh, and another 10 for a
process that's supposed to help those who feel nature has left them at
a disadvantage. :-))

Actually most of that stuff gets filtered to a [junk mail] folder
where I just check it for false positives about once a week, which is
about as often as I check the return address I use for posting.
Sooo...if any one e-mails me direct off the newsgroups, I will answer,
but it may take a while. So, I still only see about 5 or 6 spam a day
unless I go count the ones that are automatically filtered out.

I used the one address since 96 and never had more than 5 or 6 spam
per day on average. Then about two months ago the flood gates opened
and it went to 60. Now it's back down to about 30 and slowly getting
less since I disabled HTML. Prior to two months ago, I could never
figure out why people were complaining about so much spam.
