[SI] Note on file naming conventions.

I used to filter on " in the Message-ID, which just means his new client is Forte Agent... though there are a few others so it's a blanket approach, I'd just mark them as read and flag in a color so it's easy to ignore the replies and spot other Agent users. Thunderbird couldn't filter on that last I checked so I was using some other proxy server setup... kind of a mess :-) Nothing more fun Heh, it works with the new version of Thunderbird, create a custom header field "Message-ID" and filter on ", mark read, add another line and add a star. It's a bit more complicated than that in mine, but the thing is I've revealed the juicy info earlier this year and despite that, the troll still did *not* change a thing. It has to do with using logic statements "and"/"or". Not giving anything away here now, though. As much as a PIA it is: Get yourself a proxy news server, like Hamster, enter the logical arguments to score the troll who's spewing vitriol, scoring to any arbitrary negative number. Aim your news reader at Hamster to fetch the articles. Viola!- no more morphing troll to worry about in your news viewer. No matter what name the troll takes, it's gone: 'buh-bye'. Additionally, there's a way to kill off all responses to the troll. It's a neat trick. Go to the newsgroup on Hamster newsreader and read some more useful killfiling techniques. But like you suggest too, with or without hamster, one could make negative scores big and then make it add to the thread so that responders can't overcome the negative cumulative score of the thread. Xnews does this quite handily. If anyone knows of any easier method, please state so. Yes. Don't read and/or reply. Thunderbird also now has an ignore subthread option [shift-K] which is ideal for this. It can be applied in the filter too so anything following a troll reply disappears. If there are others who match the filter, those can be filtered above in the chain and the filtering stopped when they are detected. |

NOT viola! Well that depends on which part of "Nu Jooisy" SP hails from. The way he goes on about it, it'd be "Nu Jioosy"... No, it depends on whether you are bowing it or being surprised by it..... |

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to simply use one of the many pbase groups for all that SI crap? The way you lot are going, you'll need a USB 1TB drive just for the killfile... Ah well... |
