I am too busy to find the "real" posts in the mess. I will continue to check in though so that I can participate more when the eff ups go back into whatever hole they crawled out of.  SignatureLesanne Good way to handle those eff ups. This is strictly a "feel good" ng. Ignore any posts you disagree with. By all means, don't discuss the eff ups' posts!!!

Ignore any posts you disagree with. By all means, don't discuss the eff ups' posts!!! Look up there in the headers, "Grant." See where it says "alt.SUPPORT.diet.weightwatchers" ? Do you see that? Good. There are plenty of Usenet discussion groups that do not have the word "support" in the title of the group. Plenty of those groups even discuss body size, eating, health etc etc. A support group is designed for ... wait for it ... support. That does include some very limited disagreement, but the main focus and purpose of the group is support. If you want to give and/or receive support in your participation in the Weight Watchers program, this is the place for you. If you would rather talk about weight and health and calories and body size in a more challenging environment in which argument and not support is the main thing, knock yourself out. But this ain't it. SignatureKristen Yeah... but then posting about how there's too much meaningless post to wade through is like pouring water over a flood isn't it? It's troll season.. play with them,. ignore them... killfile them.. some are actually funny.. some are plain stupid.. heh... sounds like the world dunnit? It too shall pass.. we need a fun tread..

Is it your perception that I did that? >It's troll season.. play with them,. ignore them... killfile them.. Sometimes I respond to trolls in order to offer information or help or suggestions to other folks in the group who read what I write. I assume that most people just spin through the troll posts without really reading them, like I do. SignatureKristen I didn't point at you or anyone.. just been a lot of "There's so many useless troll post lately" type of post.. don't even know who made then.. and it doesn't matter.. I play with troll sometimes, ignore them sometimes.. appreciate their wit sometimes.. ignore their gross stupidity somtimes.. I don't killfile because it's too much troubles..

It only works for those who don't change their name/address daily. I find simply ignoring the messages works too, then again I'm one of those that uses a mouse to navigate through the groups as opposed to scrolling through all messages with the space bar.

Thanks -- I do have OE on this computer but I prefer not to open it if I don't have to and I've never used it to read newsgroups. For anyone who's interested, Agent is available at www.forteinc.com It was designed to read newsgroups, not for email, so it works very well. At $29, it's a bargain. I also highly recommend Mozilla Thuderbird, which is completely free of charge. http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/. Thunderbird is MUCH better for email, and lots better for newsgroups, than OE. >It only works for those who don't change their name/address daily. Even those. Two clicks, and your software filters out all of their spew for that day. And IME, that can represent the majority of the noise on the group. >I find >simply ignoring the messages works too, then again I'm one of those that >uses a mouse to navigate through the groups as opposed to scrolling through >all messages with the space bar. When groups start to get too flooded, yup, that's what I start to do, too. Sometimes I miss good stuff that way, though. SignatureKristen The thing is the most annoying ones change their addresses several times a week, sometimes several times a day.. That's why I don't bother.. it's just background noise It is a real pain in the butt for me to put these into outlook express. Each e-mail address has to be added individually. If anyone knows a better way for OE please let me know it. -- Lesanne "kmd" <kmd@lifeofaction.org> wrote in message news:716lt1h949od5of4gviaukghu8jskbmi4p@4ax.com...

If you were to use a client designed for news, there would be a way to match portions of a "From:" line (or some other news header), with something like regular expressions. You could then design a filter that would catch most/all of those changes unless someone was determined enough to change *everything* each time. Our latest troll, for instance, is fairly easily filtered with regexes. Michael I do the delete sender, like this: alt m s answer y then it deletes the messages then ok button, merely select sender you want gone, after this they will be in your blocked senders list, this is for NGs, I hope I explained that clearly enough, Lee, who uses keys instead of the mouse, It is a real pain in the butt for me to put these into outlook express. Each e-mail address has to be added individually.
