And it might take a while to catch on, but if we all agree
to it, and remind people to do it when posting, it might alleviate some of
the
crap. What say all???

There's no way to stop the spammers, flooders, identity thieves and flamers

I plan to post using "PONDS:" in the subject line. If you want to
respond to me, and expect that I will see it, you know what to do. Because
I
will no longer respond to anyone who doesn't have it in the subject line.
And I
may not, even then. I'm simply fed up with such childish, inappropriate
use of
newsgroup that is supposed to be dedicated to such a great topic. GOD HAS
SPOKEN!
======================
But what's to stop the flamers from using "PONDS" in the subject header?
He's already forging *my* headers. I didn't write the post above that you
thought I did.

Yes I know that. I don't know the answer. What I do know is that I'm no longer
going to respond to any post that doesn't have it in it. If that means that I
have to miss out on some good posts, or most posts so be it. I come here to
relax and enjoy reading and interacting with others on this topic, and I refuse
to get pulled into a flame war.

Why can't we all agree to put "PONDS:" in our
subject line when posting and then simply filter out any messege that
doesn't include "PONDS:"? I think we should include this in the FAQ, and
ask everyone to do this. It might not filter out all of it, but it
certainly should help get rid of a lot of it. And it might take a while
to catch on, but if we all agree to it, and remind people to do it when
posting, it might alleviate some of the crap. What say all???
Only problem I see is it creates a little community that never notices
newbies who wouldn't know better. As can be seen by some of the newbie posts
we see, not everyone reads the newsgroup FAQ, even if they can find it. Plus
it wouldn't work..trolls figure these things out anyway, they have nothing
better to do. I just filter the sources when they show up. Speaking of which
brings up a question. I use OE (chastise me not flamers, I am too lazy to
bother getting anything else). The view is set to hide read or ignored, yet
when I first open the reader is shows some at the top of the list. I swap
the view around and they go away but they shouldn't be there to begin with.
Anyone know why this happens?

And it's redundant in a pond group.

I'm pretty sure the laziness is the reason we should be chastising you :-)

No. I've never been able to understand OE (and despite being a Linux geek,
I actually quite like OE). I really think you'd have an easier time
learning another news program than getting OE to behave.

If you want to try Agent Forte 2.0 , I'll provide you with a reg. key.
Not sure how much better it works the OE but it'll be my way of
helping ponders seep through the garbage.

I'll take that under advisement; thanks, Derek.

I'm using Agent too and I wasn't seeing much of this garage others were
mentioning. Then I visited Google, OMG! Agent & my killfile really work
well. ~ jan

The morons have to die sooner or later, whether they be bible pounders or
rogue ponders with a vendetta. Im tired of the scumbags ruining the group as
much as anyone, but the only solution that works is to ignore the idiots,
wait for them to move on to other things, filter them out when you can and
get on with our business.

There is a solution to the flame wars and all the spam. Other newsgroups
use a
method that seems to work well. For instance, if you post to
alt.binaries.pictures.astro (a newsgroups for amatuer astronomers who want
to
share their astrophotographs), you are requested to post "astro:" at the
beginning of the subject line. Then everyone, by mutual agreement,
creates a
messege filter in their newsreader that filters out any post that doesn't
have
"astro:" in the subject line. Why can't we all agree to put "PONDS:" in
our
subject line when posting and then simply filter out any messege that
doesn't
include "PONDS:"? I think we should include this in the FAQ, and ask
everyone
to do this. It might not filter out all of it, but it certainly should
help get
rid of a lot of it. And it might take a while to catch on, but if we all
agree
to it, and remind people to do it when posting, it might alleviate some of
the
crap. What say all???

Thanks for that laught, I needed that to start my day off right.
