perhaps you could share the secret of killfiling someone who

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.

There you go! Like so many single language anglo-saxons, you don't
have a clue how to write in a foreign language.

It's VOILA!, moron. 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...

But then again, it's not just the conveniently labelled [SI] threads that
Sybil infests either.
