Just Curious

I doubt anyone in here knows or cares. If you want a lot of answers to this question go to one of
the other groups that are cross posted on those messages. We don't much do trolls, but a few of them
include us in their shotgun approach to spreading moronic [censored]. My own private opinion is that they
are a bunch of Extremely bored people with no life. Sometimes I get into one of their discussions
when I am very very bored here "on the job" as I am a home caregiver. Every time I have been sucked
into one I end up laughing at myself that I can be That bored to be wasting That kind of time, and I
go look for some online continuing education to do as pennance....

They are all trolls thats for sure. I delete the posts so I can't go back and check but I suspect
that "Steve Cheney" and NR are one and the same. Just ignore them. Filter them if you can. They keep
changing e-mail addresses so filtering is like shooting at a moving target. Another sign of a troll.

If you're using Outlook Express, you can go to Tools, Message Rules, News and make a new rule
like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the From line contains 'chaney' Delete it

This filters people who keep the same screen name but change their email address constantly.

I wish I could block them, but I'm using the free version of FreeAgent, so the closest I can get is
to block the original message when it comes in to ignore the thread...

...so I merely skim the headers and ignore anything with that name on!

Great suggestion. I forgot about the message rules. Now if we can just get people to stop replying
to them so we don't see all of the replies. I found a software program (nfilter) that is supposed
to allow you to filter with OE and Agent but I haven't had time to play with it yet. I want to see
if I can filter out any message that is cross posted. That would get rid of the trolls and their
replies for sure.

I use OE and in order to do what you suggest, you have to have the newsgroup in you NEWS folder to
set up a rule for it.

Well, not all of those postings are bad news altho, many of them are. The lastest series actually
had some good articles. I also don't quite understand the vigilante who trails along on all of those
postings. I have taken to ignoring those most definitely.

I mark the messages ignored...then someone will reply to it and change the
subject line and I get it again :-(
