Default Spam, crossposting and killfile

I now have 449 e mail addresses in my killfile. Of that, over 125 comes
from this group-whether it be the trolls, the crossposters with messages of
hate or the selling of 'handbags' or some such.

I have to wonder why this group specifically seems to attract the idiots
more so than other discussion groups. Any thoughts?

A lot of the idiots were pulled in here by Master Idiot Peter Lucas last
month...there were/are a LOT of them. Then there are the rfc idiots
(Omelet, Wayne Boatwright, amongst others) who thought that Lucas was a
"nice guy" and so "fed the fire", so to speak...so killfiling *them* got rid
of a lot of the Lucas garbage. There are a few who x-post from the uk
food - drink group, these are pretty much all useless idjits...

There is still a lot of commercial spam, althoug killfiling the gmail domain
helps somewhat...others killfile all posts emanating from Goggle. And
hopefully with the US political scene settling down we'll see less of the
x-posted political trolls...

HTH

FWIW

So with that many killfiles being required for filtering on addresses,
perhaps you can see that there's a more efficient way.

It's not just this newsgroup. And you'll notice that Most of the spam
& trolls come from people using google.groups instead of a Usenet news
service. The problem could be solved in a instant if legitimate
posters would stop using google.groups and use a proper news
client/server.

And yes. I could filter out all google.group posts. But because quite
a few of the regular contributors here - and other ng's - stoop to
using google.groups, I would miss some valuable posts. Why people
continue to use google.groups when there are far better alternatives
available is beyond my understanding.

Don't killfile all posts from Google Groups - instead simply killfile Peter
Lucas!

High traffic, of course. I don't bother with the kill file because most
commercial ones never come back again. Easy enough to skip over the thread.

Did you count or does your news reader do it for you?

I'd say with 125 it's time to do some quick house cleaning (delete
all) and rebuild! Most, if not all of your filters are probably out
of date or could be revamped to cover more. My kill file is reaching
the house cleaning stage too and I have a fraction of your number.

That answer is easy. We have a certain someone they are following.

And you make it sound like it's my fault.


It is *not* my fault that mental retards, who's lives *completely*
revolve around the person they are stalking, have access to computers.


So what is the solution? Should I cancel my internet access, and never
sign up for access ever again?

Is that what you think will solve the problem?

It won't. All that will happen is the mental retards will find another
victim for their pathetic little games.

Some ISP's do not have usenet feeds
More than a few posters have jobs that take them away from home base
and Google is a cheap and effective means of reading newsgroups

To filter all things from google perhaps you have missed out on some
great posts / ?

*** OI Back Off -----------

And you wonder why folks have a swipe at you ---------
It appears (to me) that you keep inviting the trouble with posts
such as this .

About 99% of the time I ignore you even when you keep taking pot
shots at me such as this .

I also notice that you have not taken up the offer of a face to
face - Thus proving the contention contained in many posts
that you are full of wind and just all bluff bluster.

Unlike others I only post either my own initials or with the preface
of pits in most NG.s
Thus allowing your infamous kill files to work .

Give it a break will you !

You and most with a working brain cell should know you bought all the
strife upon yourself
over many years of stalking Faking your own trolls etc In effect
talking and mailing yourself.
Then the real identities you assumed arc up at you and you wonder
why . Hells bells Pete
go have a good look at yourself for your own and every ones sanity .

So what? There are still real news feeds - some free - that are not
ISP-provided; Google Groups is not required.

As usual you don't know shit Lucas. Your problem is that you can't see
everyone already knows what a fraud you are. You don't need help from
anyone to prove what a freak you are.

Using Google to *read* newsgroups isn't a problem, except for the one
doing the reading because the Google interface is such a dog.

It's using Google to *post* to newsgroups that's the problem, because:

1. Most, if not ALL of newsgroup spam & trolls is sent via Goggle.

2. Google doesn't make it easy to snip, so replies contain all of the
text from the previous post.

3. Most of the legitimate posters who use Google don't know, let alone
respect Usenet etiquette.

Besides, there are a number of options available besides Google
Groups, whether you're at home, on the road or using someone else's
computer. Google is simply the lazy person's option ...

Good luck. You're dealing with someone who thinks it's only ISPs that
offer news feeds. Duh.

New users are not as "educated" as you are about usenet.

Really and truly you are making a total dick of yourself with all this Lucas
baiting rubbish and crossposting. Goodness knows I have enough reasons to
have a very high dislike of Lucas and I think he's a total bag of excrement.
However I would never lower myself to his level as you've been doing for
months. Your constant baiting and dragging up old posts, makes you look a
bigger fool than Lucas and that is saying something.
