He is just a troll, best ignored. Most regulars to this group
probably have him in their killfile (me included) so never see his
drivel anyway.

I see. I shall have to make one of these killfiles :-)

There was one, sounded very similar, over in rec.waterways, name of Paul. I
think they're like terrorists, they haven't got the minerals to tell anyone
who they are, and they hide behind false addresses. I thought, though, that
the things that let you post on newsgroups had a system whereby you could
complain and they would be cut off?

There is. It's called the off switch, now press it and **** off.

Oh, I see. I thought you were vindictive. Now I realise you're simply an
idiot.

I'm very sorry, I suspect you weren't loved as a child, my sympathies. It
must be terrible for you.

Bear in mind that it is my mooring, for which I pay, and it is up to me to
keep it orderly.

That is why I asked on this group, because I wanted some useful advice,
exactly what I have been given by other posters and which I will take on
board in order to find a solution which is both eco-friendly and
effective.

I suspect that I shall implement something which rats don't like, as
opposed
to something which kills them, if I can. If not, maybe I will ensure that
they don't get on to the boat by some other means.


Just a thought - are these brown rats, or water voles, formerly known as
water rats? If the latter, they won't come on your boat, and you shouldn't
discourage them, they're quite rare.

I keep hearing about these killfiles. Whats all that bout then?

It just refers to adding certain posters to your blocked senders list. While
reading postings on Usenet it becomes quickly apparent that some peoples
reason for posting is simply to be offensive to anyone and everyone. If you
are not interested in the ramblings of such attention seekers, adding them
to the killfile is a way of filtering out their crap from the posts which
are worth reading. If you are using Outlook Express and you have just opened
a posting that you consider is posted by a troll, click Message Block
Sender. There are similar options with other newsreaders. Think of it as
weeding!
