Seriously, if guys have any ideas about where I can go to read this group
that would filter this crap out I'm ALL EARS!!!! Will it ever end? Can OE filter any of it out? Is there another newsreader (like "Agent", I know that's pretty old-school) that can do it? It's driving me crazy and am up for ANY suggestions. Thanks guys, Nick "Mister.Lull" wrote in message oups.com... On Aug 13, 11:03 am, Matt Ion wrote: I. Care wrote: In article , says...

"Mister.Lull" wrote in message oups.com... What the ****? ~Mister.Lull --DR from another NG said "A suggestion from someone in another NG for bypassing sporge (false posts) is that anyone who wants to post here should put 4 exclamation points in front of the subject just as I did in this message (!!!!Subject). That will make everyone's real posts and the replies to them show up at the top of all the crap so long as the reader has his/her posts sorted by subject. You may also want to put your subject line in caps (this NG only, until the sporge problem passes if it occurs - and delete all posts if it does occur before posting) to make them stand out from the sporge. By the way, for those using Outlook Express, you can sort the messages you see by subject in alphabetical order by clicking on the word "Subject" at the top of the "Subject" Column. That will sort the messages by subject from A to Z and characters like exclamation points will come before A. Clicking on "Subject" again will sort from Z to A. Clicking on other columns like "From" and "Sent" will sort them that way." |

They eventually get bored and move on to more entertaining groups within a few days. All of the posts appear to have originated from a newsserver in Greece. Most likely a zombie computer. I've noticed that large groups of posts timestamped over many hours seem to propagate together vs. coming through in a trickle. Annoying as **** isn't it? Chris |

My ISP must have dumped whatever you all are speaking about. My isp
is dslextreme. You might want to play with the new mozilla email / nntp client. Eudora has joined them. I have not tried it so this is only a heads up. I use (free) Agent so do not have what you want but the " I " key works as Ignore and is fast as humming birds. arthur On Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:58:15 -0700, "MOSFET" wrote: Seriously, if guys have any ideas about where I can go to read this group that would filter this crap out I'm ALL EARS!!!! |
