I block all articles from or related to Chung (and many other idiotic
people and topics) using the score file in Xnews. Perhaps your newsreader
has a similar function.

I haven't seen any of this crap in months.

Here's a sample file:

% score file for Xnews
% read scoring.txt for instruction

% hopefully kills all anonymous re-mailers

He's been asked to many times before (by me, for one). I've just set up a
news rule in OE to delete anything with the word "Chung" in the subject.
I'd hate to have to killfile Bob (this one) as he sometimes offers helpful
cooking advice. But if this doesn't work I'll resort to doing so. (sigh)

I don't understand why he keeps doing that. You expect it from trolls, not
from a regular group member. I don't even understand why he's 'debating'
with the troll.

What? It's mostly things that he has stolen or plagerized. Bob (that
one) has even admitted to impersonating a published author at a book
signing.

Now don't ask me to point out specific posts. I'm don't care enough to
Google for them. And IIRC in the post about impersonating an author he was
drunk as a skunk and wasn't he with or had been with Justin Wilson drinking
"lemonade" at the time? I don't remember but it was a fun read. Much more
fun than this Chung crap.

Good idea. I have, until recently, had Bob in my "watch" file because of his
knowledgeable posts and great writing. I don't want to killfile him over this,
but it *is* tempting.

Most people in my killfile are there because of an inability/refusal to trim
their posts, or for whining about their rights to top-post. Since these people
are unlikely to educate themselves or learn manners, they'll stay there.

That said, there are exceptions. When Bob was on his Sheldon-bashing jag, he
went into the killfile for a week or two. When un-killfiled, he was still at
it, so back he went for awhile. I guess what we need is a smart killfile that
tells us when this crap stops.

It's sometimes better to eliminate posts by topic content than by poster,
as the poster might write on many different levels, some of which you'd
want to read.

Or, with some of the more sophisticated readers, kill by crossposts. Even
limiting RFC to only two crossposts eliminates a lot of the crap,

That's what I do. I have Chung KFed, but when I see one of his posts being
quoted or referred to, I plonk the whole thread.

That's the best way. I'd gotten set with Xananews for that reason, then
the cumpnee news server broke, so here I am using Google. No filtering
at all. Blech.

Xnews also has this capability and I also use it, in addition to the score
file.

SPAM and other undesirable posts are not always cross-posted.

Considering that tons of pleas to switch the default Reply to the one
that includes quoted text have fallen on deaf Google ears, I have
little faith that something as complex as killfiles and filters would
be added.

One never knows. I just want them to get our feed fixed. Unfortunately,
as the IT guy has told me, usenet has about as low a priority as can be
and still exist.

I agree 100% Jill! However, I guess my tolerance level is lower than
yours 'cause I killfiled Bob (this one) earlier today. I set the
filter to expire in 30 days so, we'll see what that brings. If, at
that time, he's still fixated on Chung I'll make it permanent.

More to the point, why does "a regular group member" do something that
he *knows* p*sses us all off? I have laboriously been kf'ing every
single responder to Bob (this one). It doesn't do any good to only kf
Bob this one), b/c his responders will show up like army ants after a
picnic. I often kf entire threads when it becomes apparent that Bob
(this one) is at it again along with his merry band of whack jobs, but
am annoyed at having to edit "my" own newsgroup! <grumble, grumble>

I kill entire threads for the same reason you do. I respect Bob's culinary
expertise, but like many others here, am considering adding him to the bozo
bin. I hate to do that. I generally have foods and topics in there.
Maybe Chung needs some company.

Geeze... take a few days off and come back to cross-post mania again...

I'm with the trollops on this one. ;-) Bob (this one) has surprised
me. I didn't always agree with his food related posts but at least
they were on topic. I think maybe his meds ran out?

I kill the threads but he's about ready to enter the bottomless pit.

Dear BOB:

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a moment to defecate into your hat and
pull it down over your ears. You seem to have me confused with Sheldon
who has quoted with and without attribution rather often.

Yes. Justin was in town for a book signing and I had him on my radio
program where we began the day with a most tasty lemonade (I thought).
Afterward we went to the Costco store where he was to sign books. I
sat with him and continued drinking his "Thomas Justin Collinses"
(equal parts CountryTime lemonade and gin) as we had been at the
station. A woman asked me if I was "somebody" and he reached over and
tapped a book by John Grisham. She gushed about how much she loved
"my" books and said that this was the only one she didn't have and on
and on...

He picked up the book and told me to stop being so bashful and just go
ahead and sign the book for the nice lady. So I did. As the afternoon
wore on, he tapped several other books, and I think I was Dean Koontz
for a while, too. In addition to some others I'd never heard of.
Someone drove me home. Justin's "assistant" drove him somewhere. She
came to the radio station carrying two coolers with CountryTime logos
on them. Justin asked me how I liked her jugs. Guy was 83 at the time,
freshly thrown out of his house because his wife caught him messing
around (or so he said).

<lol> Too funny... ;-)

Do you look like a bood author or something?
Sounds like my kind of an afternoon...

Changing the subject here,

Pastorio, what do you think of the foreman grill?

I've been using it more and more frequently lately, but the damned thing
is too small! I'd like to be able to grill more than one little piece of
meat at a time, and I'd also like to try grilling sliced squash in it at
the same time. Being able to cook an entire meal on it at once would be
handy!

I've recently discovered just how _wonderful_ cooking fish in it is!
Catfish and salmon specifically. I just put a little salt free lemon
pepper and dried dill on top and grill it that way. No more corn meal
coating. <G>

I'd like to get a larger grill. Which one would you recommend in a
reasonable price range, say, $100.00?

Or have you ever used one of these?

Thanks!
Kat

Exactly. I've taken to reading only what I want to and marking the rest
read. Normally I can just ignore that crap. He's got the trolls all in a
tither, they hooked a live one.

I think I might've read it once before because it featured a recipe for
a salt-encrusted pastry roast... I'll have to find that issue.

A classic Caesar dressing is in there, too; page 67.

I'm gonna attempt the Texas Chili with Poblanos and Beer and Cornbread
with Scallions and Bacon tomorrow! (Pages 36 & 37 for the recipes.)

As consistent as the Chung posts are, at least they are
clearly Chung - which makes it very easy to delete entire
threads w/o reading.

I remember when you first posted that story. It was funny
then and it's still funny now. Justin was a character,
wasn't he? His show was appointment TV for me!

Is it just me, or has Pastorio completely danced around the actual

Side-stepped and attempted to deflect in a totally different
direction. Why he was doin' that to the group is beyond
comprehension by me.

I dunno, but since I'm in a sullen mood today anyway, I'm just gonna make
him go away.

Bye, Bob!

Try to avoid the passive voice. perhaps "I don't understand why he was
doing that" get to the point faster and clearer.

<sigh> Life is so complex and we have such a short time to live it and
this is merely usenet and look how the thread is being prolonged by
discussions of discussions - meta-discussions.

If you can muster enough attention to note that I've stopped posting
Chung crap here today, the obvious should smite you right in the
imagination. Well maybe not you - or should I say "y'all" so it's clearer.

I'm abjectly apologetic that I didn't reply in the precise fashions
you'd have liked me to. Perhaps we can create some templates for
correct reaction to your posts. Maybe set up a web site with the exact
language and formats. When I'm done typing this, I'm going downstairs
and throw myself on my Moulinex cheese grater as a perfect culinary
act of contrition. Ooops. I don't have a Moulinex cheese grater. I
guess I'll throw myself on my wife. She seems to enjoy that.

Get lives, kids.

Yeah, the template would be to *quit freekin' cross-posting*!!

Is that clear and quickly enough to the point for your ass?

<LOL> Here. Sit down. Breathe in... breathe out... breathe in...
breathe out...

When you were in the school safety patrol, did you wear one of those
cool white belts that went around your waist and over your shoulder. I
thought they were cool. Big badge on it...

No, seriously...

He's unrepentant and uncaring. That's a good enough reason to filter 'im
