He appears to modify his address from post to post to subvert the
killfile function. Someone whose messages I despise does that on our
local gardening board. Grrrr!

He's actually an easy target! Filter using 172.149.252.20, which is
his NNTP posting host.... obviously, of course, AOL.....

I've actually got several entries to make sure that I get him
(until the next major change):

================================================== ====================
/: .*Ron_Grossi_03/f:j
/: .*Greatest News/:j
/: .*News Ever/:j
/: .*blogspot.com/a:j
/: .*172.149.252.20/a:j
================================================== ====================

In the first line, he changes the later digits, but not the
early ones in his "From: " line.

The second and third pick out parts of the Subject line which
are likely to remain constant.

The forth line is the constant part of the URL which he puts
in these. (The 'a' after the second '/' says to look in *all* of the
article, not just the header lines).

And the fifth has been added as a result of your suggestion --
but he is likely to eventually lose his connection and have to re-dial,
unless he has a(n) (A)DSL connection with a constant IP address. (Are
such available from AOL?)

These killfile entries are of the format which works for unix
trn and strn. You'll have to figure your own modifications for other
newsreaders.

Anyway -- my assumption has been that he is pushing a way for
everyone to be "saved" (whether they wish to be so or not).

And he has been hitting a lot of other newsgroups, not just this
one.

Note that when Pope John Paul II was dying, he quit, until after
the funeral, after which he started in high gear. This suggests some
religious (Christian) sensitivity on his part.

Enjoy,
DoN.
