I just block them all.

They are all trolls thats for sure. I delete the posts so I can't go back
and check but I suspect that "Steve Cheney" and NR are one and the same.
Just ignore them. Filter them if you can. They keep changing e-mail
addresses so filtering is like shooting at a moving target. Another sign
of
a troll.

I'm new here....and to newsgroups in general, and maybe should just mind
my
own business, but what is the deal with Steve Cheney's posts? Why,
after
each post by this person, is there a post by someone called NR that says
it
was a forgery? It seems like Steve Cheney is just posting articles, so
why
the controversy? I know what trolls are, but does this qualify? And
who's
the troll? Just thought I'd ask......

If you're using Outlook Express, you can go to Tools, Message Rules, News
and make a new rule like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'chaney'
Delete it

This filters people who keep the same screen name but change their email
address constantly.

Great suggestion. I forgot about the message rules. Now if we can just get
people to stop replying to them so we don't see all of the replies. I found
a software program (nfilter) that is supposed to allow you to filter with OE
and Agent but I haven't had time to play with it yet. I want to see if I can
filter out any message that is cross posted. That would get rid of the
trolls and their replies for sure.

I use OE and in order to do what you suggest, you have to have the newsgroup
in you NEWS folder to set up a rule for it.

Well, not all of those postings are bad news altho, many of them are.
The lastest series actually had some good articles. I also don't
quite understand the vigilante who trails along on all of those
postings. I have taken to ignoring those most definitely.

I mark the messages ignored...then someone will reply to it and change the
subject line and I get it again :-(

I wish I could block them, but I'm using the free version of
FreeAgent, so the closest I can get is to block the original message
when it comes in to ignore the thread...

....so I merely skim the headers and ignore anything with that name on!
