Looks like a silly season has started going by all the post from
the brain dead today. I still don't understand what pleasure they
get from it.

Bemused.

Trolling is a form of fishing.
Every response it generates is a 'bite'.

Retaliating with abuse will encourage more postings of a similar nature.
Hence the phrase: do not feed the trolls.

Good advice Mark, although it's difficult when a troll attacks a
person who we all respect and have known over the years.

I've not seen any of these posts. I block all posts posted to more than one
newsgroup (crossposted). Most of the rubbish is crossposted.

But do you see the replies to such posts?

No. Posts replying to crossposts are also crossposted - so I don't see
them.

The only replies I would see is where the replying poster has noticed the
post has been crossposted and removed the other newsgroups from his reply.

So how do you block crossposted posts?
I use Outlook Express for Newsgroups.

Sorry Mark, I don't use OE and have no idea if it's possible - I'd guess
not.

I use Dialog www.40tude.com/dialog and simply add a line in the script :-

-10 Xpost %1

The -10 means ignore and the Xpost %1 means all posts posted to more than
1 newsgroup (can be changed to more than 1). Sorry but that won't work in
OE.

I think other newsreaders also allow things like this.

Kill filing anyone who cross posts or replies is very effective. It is a
very small number who respond. You quickly see none of the rubbish.

I've checked on the Agent newsreader www.forteinc.com/agent

Agent also allows blocking of crossposts.

Why not try a proper newsreader ? Lots of useful settings available that OE
doesn't provide.

Dialog is free but Agent isn't (30 day free trial).

Turnpike has the custom rule: /^Newsgroups:.*,/h

Allowing one crossposted group is /^Newsgroups:.*,.*,/h
etc
