Family Forum / Marriage / Marriage / March 2008Updating the killfile
Let's see; kill all messages crossposted to any newsgroup with "kooks" or "religion" in the name. That ought to help . . . > Let's see; kill all messages crossposted to any newsgroup with "kooks" > or "religion" in the name. That ought to help . . . Zorra just told me that she never thought she would have to killfile messages with the words "brown bag" in it. lol Vickie > Let's see; kill all messages crossposted to any newsgroup with "kooks" > or "religion" in the name.

That ought to help . . . Oh, do I wish I could killfile based on cross-posting!!! Zorra You can. >> Let's see; kill all messages crossposted to any newsgroup with "kooks" >> or "religion" in the name.

I'm getting more used to living on the razor's edge these days, with all these recent BIOS updates I've been doing. That is one thing you do where you really do hold your breath, because you can end up with an unresurrectable computer, if things go wrong. :-) >>>>> You can. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >you really do hold your breath, because you can end up with an >unresurrectable computer, if things go wrong. :-) I used to use NewsProxy all the time, but the latest update (which was a while ago AFAIK) made it both unusable and stopped filtering things like crossposts correctly. I haven't been able to find a copy of the earlier version, which actually worked right. >>>>>> You can. >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > like crossposts correctly.

I'm using version 1.2.0, which I found some time ago, after some probably fairly extensive googling. > Let's see; kill all messages crossposted to any newsgroup with "kooks" > or "religion" in the name. That ought to help . . . I don't particularly want to kill stuff without checking what the thread is actually about (subject and content often differ widely) and also because I'm not averse to all crossposting. Up until the last six months I rarely used any kind of filter and would restrict myself to marking some threads as read to get rid of them. But several times each week now I'm finding myself blocking 5 or 6 senders just to get rid of the spammers and net loons. There are so many of them cluttering up the place! |
