and high school kids are out and bored.................
maddie on the mend finally while summer careens past and spends the spring
blossoms and teases the summer showings into way too early appearances...

And that's a good thing as Martha Stewart would say.

If you blocked this idiot, why are we still seeing his garbage on Thursday?

Look at the dates. Probably because she blocked him after the fact.
Same day I sent him to my killfile I suggest you could do the same.

because this is usenet & everyone is responsible for thier
own killfiles/filters. usenet is anarchy, unless you're in a
moderated group... which this is not.
Maddy can only killfile or block on her own newsreader, she's
not the Queen of Usenet (although she should be! g).
i suggest you learn how to use your filters, or download a
newsreader with better ones (Xnews is free & has good
filtering. it's also got a short learning curve)

Dunno why we don't rely on signed messages; It would solve this problem
of impersonation and SPAM. Set up a web page for users to upload their
signatures and force all users to use it..

Yea right, ya dumb clown. No body can force anybody to anything on
USENET...... get over it and learn to use your kill filte and get on
with life instead of brooding over it. Whats that you say....yur
newsreader does not have the capability to kill filter, then get a
realnewsreader if yur gonna play were there is a possiblity of things
occuring you do not approve of or else get off the internet, and go
read a paper back novel.

Hello there weird-being-who-sounds-angry, Sorry for offending you, but
i was just musing;
didn't think you'd actually keep track of this old post and wasn't
expecting anyone on rec.gardens to read what i posted, or reply to it,
so your replies come as a suprise.
Can you mark posts and be notified when new-entries crop up ? How do i
do that ?

I'm from Bangalore, India. My name is Vivek (Vee wake) and i'm a
student. I'm new here and experimenting a bit. You are partly right
about the "forcing bit"; I think i phrased that in-correctly !

I guess what i meant was: If everyone coded their news clients to
filter messages via digital-signatures, then you'd only read messages
from known entities. You could even embed the signature within the post
so there would be no problem dis-seminating the signatures. This
trouble comes with newbies; since their messages would be filtered out
with the SPAM, hence the need for a web-site where you register your
signature. This would then "force" newbies to register else they would
not be heard.

It's a silly idea though to rely on http, in the sense that you'd be
relying on http to fix nntp; A protocol should in most cases stand
alone, not rely on another protocol to fix bugs in it.

Kill-files don't really work; It's very easy to fake the headers in
newsgroups. Just go to any of a dozen free ISP's and fake the From,
Reply-To, and other fields. You'd have to block based on ISP ip, but
there are too many ISP's and you just might block legit users; It's a
kludgy solution at best.

The only thing you can trust to a certain extent is the Path: field
since that's entered by the machines handling your message. You seem to
be logging on from be5.nntpserver.

Quite honestly, I don't want to block or quarrel with you; that would
be silly ! I'm not sure if i like you, but i don't dislike you as off
now. If things did get messy i'd just ignore you ( visually speaking )
and carry on.You seem knowledgeable and i'd like to talk to you, if
that's okay with you.

I found some of your spammy-posts very intruging and that made me
lookup the rfc's to see what was going on. It's been fun all in all,
wondering what was going on and stuff *grin*.

Anyway..umm..i'll post my doubts and you can clarify if you wish to..I
suppose i could post on one of the comp forums and get my answers, but
since you have replied i just thought i might as ask my questions and
be done with it.

1. Is there a way to fake Path, without you owning a nntp server or
cracking in-to a nntp server. I don't think so, but..what do you feel ?

2. The From: field "~¤1¤ôx@ôÜ1Ô.ôôô" that's 8 bit ASCIIright?
Does "Forte" allow you to type 8 bit ASCII ?

3. What's the difference between Date and NNTP-Posting-Date? Is Date
generated by "Forte" and the Posting-Date by the first nntp/uucp server
to receive your post?

4. Is Message-ID generated by your client or by the server. RFC 850
says it's the server that first enters your post into the network;
ax.com in this case..I suspect that it's your machine hostname because
the timezone's match up -0500 is in America and ax.com is in the same
time zone (via jwhois).

Hope you can clarify.
