Sometimes complaining to an ISP works... I think...

I'm not seeing them, not sure if it's my filters or my newsserver. news.individual.net does a very good job of filtering out stuff like that and only costs 15 bucks a year.

Seems like "quite a few" or "several" ought to prompt someone to action. Steve |

We appreciate your role in helping us to locate this user. -- Newsdemon.com Support Team http://www.newsdemon.com Clearly you are an agent, whether you know it or not, of the Government Intelligence Services. There's a really cute science fiction story from (I think) the '50's, about a poor clod in a society with universal (and "secret") surveillance. The security camera in his bedroom made an irritating noise so he couldn't sleep, the guy who tailed him was always bumbling -- it was a great embarrassment. After many trials and tribulations the guy ends up claiming and colonizing a planet, which gets populated by all the still-incompetent (but nice!) people sent to spy on him and his 'defectors'. -- Tim Wescott Control systems and communications consulting http://www.wescottdesign.com Need to learn how to apply control theory in your embedded system?

Today's batch was in rec.music.makers.squeezebox -- though I added the latest filter to be global in that newsgroup, so it probably killed any in this newsgroup as well today.

To try to comprehend that people would do this for excitement,
entertainment, or whatever is truly a depressing thing for me. To exchange so many minutes of one's lifetime for such vaccuous gratification. I just don't get it. It does not make it any less aggravating, but I try to walk a mile in their mocassins, and ask the pertinent questions. Steve |

I think that he really feels that this so-called "persecution" is happening, and *seriously* needs psychiatric help. It would appear based on the content (and the choice of "persecuting agency" that he is in England. I wonder whether he is one of those who were institutionalized, and who have been released on an "outpatient" basis. It does not make it any less aggravating, but I try to walk a mile in their mocassins, and ask the pertinent questions. Indeed -- and add appropriate filters to the killfile, so you are not aggravated as much. The latest one is without a "NNTP-Posting-Host: " header, so I've simply put: "Subject: MI5.Persecution:" (without the quotes) in the kilfile. In this system, '.' is a wildcard which matches a single character, so if he changes the '-' to another character, it should still match. He keeps the front part of the "Subject: " header more constant than his username at least. Good Luck, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |
