follow up to: filtering pest(s) with agent newsreader ?
September 1 to March 16: +/- 20,103 posts. Filtering at 65+ lines didn't catch many. Changing to 49+ lines dropped nonsense to 12,826 messages. For those using Agent, it does allow one to sort by number of lines so the short messages are together to highlight and delete. Obviously, this is going to catch many useful posts. |

And so presumably the next lot will include plenty consisting of less than 49 lines Then you'll be able to count those, and post the information on here again. Etc etc. michael adams .... |

Whilst appearances may occasionally suggest otherwise, newsgroup flooding is done by intelligent computer-savvy people who are perfectly capable of reading your post! And your point is what? Don't you think the "intelligent computer-savvy people" already know all the tricks one uses to filter them? |

Sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention. no offense taken, and no offense meant. Possibly you didn't notice but someone else pointed this out also. did see it. also saw the specific agent filter examples posted in this thread. your point is taken but still think these computer wizards (who are a p.i.t.a.) know a lot more tricks than us gardeners. -- VX (remove alcohol for email) |
