Has anyone had any luck filtering the nonsense posts using the agent
newsreader? It allows one to filter on subject and author; I cannot
find any other criteria to filter this/these pests out.

I am using a filter to delete all posts over 60 lines in length. This
gets
95% of them.


And to get rid of the rubbish from the Ng just highlight the top troll
message and press delete and OK, using two fingers you can delete them all
in no time one after the other. :-)

You mean all 10 thousand of them, Bob? Even highlighting one then
scrolling down to the last one with Caps Lock held down takes ages and can
bring your software to a halt. (I tried that a couple of weeks ago and it
did).


Sorry June, I only had about 50 that got through NIN, no doubt they have
deleted them by now anyway.

Oh right. How's it all going gardening -wise apart from that?
