Mike Trolling is a form of fishing. Every response it generates is a 'bite'. Retaliating with abuse will encourage more postings of a similar nature.

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. Tim W |

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. -- Regards, Hugh Jampton |

Mike Some of the schools have broken up which may account for it. All I can surmise is that if they get pleasure from trolling they'll fry their brain circuits if they ever get a social life. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics.
