It might be easier to just find your own private, moderated forum.

Then you won't EVER be ASKED to refrain from racist jokes, sexist
jokes, dead baby jokes, Holocaust jokes, ethnic jokes, religious
jokes, etc.

Why not go the extra mile. Everybody wins! This forum becomes a more
inclusive, less Xenophobic place. You guys have your clubhouse.

What say ye??

While I can't use your filter, it's terrific that you're still
maintaining it, Doug.

On behalf of the wreck, I'll be presumptuous to say "thank you".

You're welcome. Why are you unable to use it?

On a Mac.

And there's no Mac version of the nfilter program, is there? Too bad.

I say Ruth and Golda were walking along Hendon High Street.
Ruth says, "My son Irving is getting married. He tells me he is engaged
to a wonderful girl, but... he thinks she may have a disease called herpes.
Golda says, "Do you have any idea what this herpes is, and can he catch it?"
Ruth replies, "No, but I am just so thrilled to hear about Irving's
engagement - it's time he settled down. As far as the herpes goes...who
knows?"
"Well," says Golda, "I have a very good medical dictionary at home. I'll
look it up and call you."
So Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls Ruth. "Ruth, I found it. Not
to worry. It says herpes is a disease of the gentiles."

I thought you might like this one because it had Jews, Gentiles, and
sexually transmitted disease in it. There are about 3000 more similar
Jewish jokes he http://www.awordinyoureye.com/jokes1stset.html

I picked the first site with a Jewish Joke Google. I got 1 MILLION 50
THOUSAND hits on that search.... you might have a long, long battle on
your hands...

Isn't that "family-friendly" moderated woodworking group that the twit
in the wheelchair started still out there?

(Don't recall his name... Just as well)

It was Frodo or Ferdie or Whacko or something like that. Somebody (Joat?) pinned the nickname Frito
on him and it stuck. At the beginning of the rants I suspected the current character was indeed
Frito trying again to take over the newsgroup. I looked him up on Google and he just appeared out
of thin air last fall. All the chest beating, teenage angst and wasted bandwidth convinced me my
suspicion was correct. I immediately activated my anti-troll protocol..

A quick twitting and a couple of topic filterings fixed this foolishness. The Wrec was back to
interesting woodworking topics and discussions. I apparently missed some good jokes, but did get a
chance to catch up on unread messages. Life is good. DNFTMFT.

I don't think it ever did get started. The original proposal to moderate this
group was shot down in flames. So was the second one (creating a new group
rec.woodworking.moderated). The third one (creating a new unmoderated group
rec.woodworking.all-ages) was eventually withdrawn, after it came to light
that there was massive fraud in the voting for its creation.

(Don't recall his name... Just as well)

Vito Kuhn and Susan Welchel.

I don't think it's the same guy. Neil's an agressive do-gooder. Frito was
just a whiner.

Now _there_ is a name which strikes fear (or at least total boredom)

I ignored that long drawn out tirade also. I got the vague impression
that he may have actually got it started, but I never paid any further

Not a big deal for me... My software and wetware filters work pretty
well.

My news reader, Thoth, supports regular expressions so it's pretty easy
to get the results I want.

Oh, -that- one. It's relatively trivial to translate the nFilter rules
into expressions that Thoth understands. It's virtually cut-and-paste.

Aside: that software is _really_ popular at at least one military airbase in
Newfoundland.

He sent some interesting pics to me offline. No idea if they were

haven't we?

Cloth, but no thigar. It's Thoth for the _Gander_. Only to be expected,
lots of MAC (Military Airlift Command) traffic there.
