WRONG
How the hell can I killfile this idiot, I can't just put stop Mike,
cos
there is another Mike who contributes to nesgroups, who seems to be
more
sensible.
I've just plonked the moron. The way I did it was lazy and easy was
which is to go to "Messages" at the top of the screen and to then hit
"block sender". I'll see no more crap from him BUT, if there is
another poster who uses the name " then I also
won't see any posts from them either. If I wanted to block only the
nasty Naval Mike then I'd have to go into my proper kill file and
enter more info.
That is the problem as I see it, I can't see how it is possible to block one
'Mike' and let the others through!(:-(
Because he is " or some such, and that is different from
".
If these can't be distinguished, then your email inbox would be jam
packed each night with thousands of emails to all the other Alans across
the world.
Look - just try it. Kill the offending Mike, then see if you get posts
from the other Mikes over the next few days. If it doesn't work, you can
un-kill Mike and request any articles you've missed. You have nothing to
lose!
You could even post here your intention to do this, and ask the other
Mikes if they'd kindly post some test posts to make sure you can still
read them.
Plese, just do it and stop agonising! ;-)
