I blocked him ages ago. Might have had to do it a few times. Haven't seen
anything since.

Filtering is one thing, but has anyone bothered to find the source and
file complaints? These things have to come from some company, and
while some are foreign and wont do anything, there is a 50 50 chance
they are feeding thru regular channels. Just my 2 cents....

No offense, but your suggestion is worth about half of two cents. You can
complain all day long to the guys internet provider or whoever, and nothing
will happen. Absolutely nothing.

I used to file complaints. Really depends on what the person did. But most
of the time, complaints are not taken seriously.

According to tawk I've seen on nanae - news.announce.net.abuse.email
the MI - 5 troll has had several Usenet accounts terminated...looks
like it's back...

I have it filtered out on OE, so it only bothers me on Google
Froups...
