I gotta ask how you read my post since I posted it thru Google groups?


It filters Gmail, Google Mail, Google Groups or HOTMAIL **addresses**.
You are using an AOL address. Better that than Web TV, I guess.


I think you have misunderstood http://improve-usenet.org then.
The idea is to filter based on the posting agent, GG, not
people's email addresses. It's filtering based on Message-IDs.

Of course you can choose to filter on whatever you like, it's
your filter. But you are quoting a URL with a particular
philosophy that you are not adopting. You'd be more correct if
you left your philosophy there in your sig and removed the URL,
or actually embrace the philosophy of the UIP and killfile based
on M-IDs. Your sig is misleading.
