If any of you are using NewsProxy to filter newsgroup postings, add this line to your nfilter.dat
file to drop HomeGuy's posts: alt.home.repair drop NNTP-Posting-Host: uPgK13HseOvGgdY6dNb/Qg.user.speranza.aioe.org Notes: 1. make sure it's all on one line 2. works only if your newsserver passes the NNTP-Posting-Host header to your client (some don't) |

I'm just using Internet Explorer 8.0 on a dial-up connection, so is there anything I can do to get rid of the continuous mormon bashing and daily updates of where the USA currently is in it's inexorable slide down the huge cosmic toilet bowl. It gets tiring.

XNews' Help mentions using the NNTP-Posting-Host header for killfiling, but then XNews gives you no way to actually enter that line directly into its Score file or through its dialog box front-end for the Score file. When I enter the line manually the way I've done all the rest of my killfiling, it does not work. -- Tegger |

When I enter the line manually the way I've done all the rest of my killfiling, it does not work. Hit Ctrl-E and you can edit the score file directly with Notepad. Create a new score rule like this: [^alt.home.repair$] % filter out Homeguy Sco -9999 NNTP-Posting-Host: uPgK13HseOvGgdY6dNb\/Qg\.user\.speranza\.aioe\.org You could shorten that line like this and it should work equally well: NNTP-Posting-Host: uPgK13HseOvGgdY6dNb\/Qg\.*aioe That's assuming that recipe actually works - I haven't tried it, and I must have managed to filter him out somehow already, as I never see his posts. |

The slashes and dots need to be escaped by preceding them with a backslash, because those characters have special meaning. The backslash tells the scoring engine that those characters are to be taken literally. See my post from a few minutes ago. |

NewsProxy (find the latest v 2.x) will run under Win7. The software is no longer developed as I've read. It is free. Install the proxy, point the reader at it and point the proxy at the NNTP server. The *.dat file is a text file to add / remove syntax. |

Home guy also is a suspect of using multiple accounts on the same server. The same guy stealing smurf movies off the 'net. Intellectual an copyright property matters **** to him That cootie... |

Thanks very much for the tips on the escaping. I would never have thought of that. However, it's not working to delete posts that already exist in my store but have not been read. Usually, when I killfile, existing unread posts are automatically deleted when the window is re-scored. -- Tegger |

His girlfriend collected names from obituaries, acquired cards in the those names and then sent the card number to the convict. I told Sprint to send me a subpoena so I could give all his phone call recordings. You could contact the Warden's Office :-\ |

I forwarded the letter to a cousin who I believe that it was his father's first wife. Don't know what he will do but he is a retired state cop. I had a former professor just get out of jail a few years ago. All his students were curious to know about him but there were none that wanted to contact him. |

The install dialog comes up, but the install itself locks up right after clicking the Install button. ... another thought. Are you running 64 bit Win7 ? That could be the reason... it runs in 32 bit installed. Curious Yep, I've got 64-bit Win7. I even tried closing my firewall, anti-virus, and Spybot. No dice. The install process (run as Administrator) starts up with np-120.exe showing up in the processes list, along with setup.exe. But no CPU resources are being used, and the program stalls dead. Also tried running it under "compatibility mode" for WinXP and Win98. I have other 32-bit programs that work just fine running under 64-bit. Maybe NewsProxy isn't one of the "compatible" ones. Microsoft's Compatibility website doesn't list NP at all. -- Tegger |

Microsoft's Compatibility website doesn't list NP at all. I'm not sure that NP is fully 32 bit. It may have some 16 bit coding? The files are dated 1999. 64 bit handles files much differently - likely the reason it will not run. |
