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.

Hi Bob,
Been meaning to say "sorry I missed you" the other day, but have been like
others swamped with unwanted junk, 38,000 today, so I resorted to deleting
everything.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed Cornwall (sorry about the weather!)
