Get your newsreader sorted out you troll.
Someone number his fecked up posts so we don't have to read them if we don't have the luxury of killfiles. It's simple enough, if you feel the need to reply to one of his posts just put his name and a number to it in the title. |

GG subscribers would be well advised get a newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies. |

The links fail after a certain date. I believe this is due to the times their servers were attacked. It might also relate to spam eradication. I can't say. I don't think I ever signed up to a news server per se. I used to use Mailgate.org but I can't be bothered for the limited scope it gives. But there again it does a better personal search. If I wanted files from wayback that Google had munged I could go there, I suppose. |

The same applies to most newsreader software other than they will do much more of the same, and are more customisable (eg kill files). And surely your ISP has a news server which you can access at no additional cost? If you want to search for a thread a few months back just click on the month you think it was posted he http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.d-i-y/about Sure, google groups is just the job for archive searching, but not for posting. I don't think I ever signed up to a news server per se. So maybe now's the time, then? David |

In which case you open he http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.d-i-y/about?hl=en ...select month; open series or genii of posts in tabs or new windows and unplug the phone line. After answering those desperately needing one's priceless pearls, reconnect the modem to the tennuous slice of reality that you occasion and post them. Even better, store all that on a floppy disk and take it to the local library where the collected wisdom of the ages can be freely disseminated. (Assuming one has a local library and it functions as an internet node.) |

Why would I want to kill file anyone? And pay for the privilege? I can see why one would want to avoid a webpage interface if you pay per minute, or want to use software killfiles if not emotionally robust enough to just ignore the names you killfile, but otherwise Google seems adequate.
