My first post in this group and I get shot down.

Friendly bunch, aren't you!

For "bunch" read "one seriously sad troll". Nearly all the trolling
messages on this group are from one pathetic specimen of humanity. Don't
respond & don't bother trying to kill file him. He changes his ID several
times a day sometimes.

There are a some genuine posters out here but you can expect to see our
addresses spoofed at any time. His posts are easy to spot however. If
they're purile, crass or insulting, they're Bill's.

Sorry, most of the negative posts in this newsgroup are from a single
psychopath who changes its name on a frequent basis.
People in several newsgroups have been unsuccessfully trying to
get it to leave for several years.
Best action is to ignore it. It is posts are easy to distinguish.
They are
never worth reading or replying to.

Idiot

My sincerest apologies to everyone. I should not have spouted-off at
everyone for the rudeness of one.

I'm sure you are all a great group and I look forward to many long
years interacting with you.

Thanks for your concern.

Wish you the best.
I was on the Net since 1985, and in those days the net was a great
place. Especially Dec's easy net. Now sick morons can get on, who for
some sick reason get their pleasure with their bizarre behavior. Their
mother must not have loved them.

If you look at their full header, you can see their IP address, and see
who they are.

Timothy, you are a lazy bum. Just because you haven't tried to filter
him out, doesn't mean that you should impose your indolence upon
others. There are many many ways to filter out anyone.

With the help of a buddy, I got these:

http://nfilter.org/faq.html
http://www.groupsrv.com/hobby/about220403.html
http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/19990722-7.html

He uses something called "tin". This is what he would put in his filter
to filter out this particular troll.

msgid=*4ax.com*

That's because if you look at the complete header, you'll see his
Message Id: contains 4ax.com. You can do this with many other filters.
Filter based on the Message Id, or the Path. Path contains stuff like
hw-filter.lga.

If you have Agent for a newsreader, you can set up such filters too.

You just have to put in a little effort to do it instead of sitting and
whining.

Y'all are a bunch of lazy whiners. If an old fart like me can set up a
simple filter, why can't you??

Doesn't feel good to be at the receiving end of a shooting, does it?
A colleague in Baghdad - his friend's wife stepped out of her house
last week for the first time after giving birth to a baby. She was shot
down by a bunch of US Marines. Unfortunately, she didn't live to
complain about it. She died instantly.
