Thanks, I don't know enough about finding the source of articles to be able to identify them. Alan The same thing is happening on another uk.local newsgroup. All the fingers point to one person, but I have a feeling that it is someone else because the postings contain 'little clues' in the manner of his script and language. It has been going on now for about 4 years and at sometime or other, he will let slip and I will pounce. Mike |

A typical header is The person I believe it is, is/has been associated with computers for a very long time. I only punch the keys and don't have a clue on the headings, paths, ISP's etc to be able to read the true ones from the mangled and false ones. I post from one ISP and always use the same name. I 'know' that this person, (well 99.9999% certain), that this person uses other names and signatures. Mike Who doesn't knowingly tells lies. |

A quick look at the path (which cannot be forged indicates what happened and where) though I'm not sure whether the imposter can be traced and exposed.

Yes they can, but not .......... That is unique No, it isn't, as it's possible to put any address in outlook express to reply to newsgroup postings - hence by gibberish address, I could just as easily have put Alan's though. BTW, I cut his out to prevent him getting even more spam than he is going to get as a result of posting his address ;-(( ! |

[Or new urger. See, I've even read the newcomers FAQ thingy. That must be worth bonus points, if nothing else! :)] Been lurking for a couple of weeks, slowly absorbing nutrients, uh, before sending out my first, ahem, bloom. To be honest, I almost dumped this group once this attack started. I've used Usenet for quite a few years and have never seen anything quite so persistently annoying and irritating as that desperate tirade. But I battened down the hatches [for the duration, killing anything over 50 lines], and I'm now hoping to pick up some good tips here. However, I was taken by your... relatively easily dealt with. ....comment, Dave. As it sounds like an episode that might occasionally be repeated in here, so was I missing something in the headers? Only, I didn't see anything obvious to apply a rule on - aside from the somewhat drastic pruning that a 50+ line cut-off made. While I'm here then... Fairly new to gardening. Long story short... My 'sporting life' was cut somewhat dramatically short, and after a good few years of hoping against hope and generally floundering in my spare time, I suddenly caught myself watching Gardeners World and... GULP!... Enjoying it!! :) So, here I am, about 2 years [or growing seasons] down the line and full of enthusiasm. I'm hoping that some of you good folk might help with some of my mistakes and, who knows, I might even have the confidence to share advice with some of things that have seemingly gone right. Umm, always assuming I know why they've gone right, of course! :) -- Flower Bobdew South Facing Garden South West: UK |
