Take your trash talk elsewhere

You, and you know who you are, are not at all amusing. I have been gone for a week and return to find a wonderful NG being ruined by trash talking low IQ morons. This group is a wonderful resource for Jeep advocates. If you insist on this type of behavior start your own group and leave the rest of us alone.

These are cross posters. They are not reading messages in the Jeep news group, and they wouldn't pay any attention to what you or I say, if they did. The best thing one can do, is to ignore them. Perhaps if you need material for an Abnormal Psychology paper, you could venture into the other news group and find out what all the fuss is about.

Fair enough. Now, how about not acting like a d*****ad?

Outlook Express has the ability to killfile posters and to kill threads (I think). I can't help you with it because I don't use it but I'm sure there are those here who can help.

Personally, I much prefer Xnews for reading news groups, it's free from

and has very complete scoring and killfiling. There are other news readers that also have very complete scoring but if you do stay with Outlook Express I'm very sure it can do some of that..... I'm not sure if you can set it to automatically kill any cross posted message but if you can, you might try that in addition to killfiling and scoring.

Kill filling:

8.9 Outlook Express and Outlook Newsreader

At the time of writing shipped with all versions of M$ Windows No URL available.

Contributed by Dave Fawthrop with help from Geoff Berrow, Andrew Hartley and martinp

Outlook Express killfiles are accessed from:

This section does not kill senders using 8 bit characters.

Click on New and you will see four boxes

Select conditions for your rule The ones of most use for killfiles are: Where the From: line contains people Where the Subject: line contains specific words Where the number of lines is more than lines

Select Actions for your rule The ones useful for killfiles are: Delete it See section 5.2 Mark it as read see section 5.2

Mark the message as ignored See section 5.1

May be applied to specific newsgroups.

Tick the boxes you wish to use

Rule description Fill it the details of the rule here

Name of Rule Choose a suitable name here.

Also available is a rather brutal method found at: message -> Block sender, which works with 8 bit characters

Netscape (at least for v4.0 and earlier) doesn't have a killfile facility, unfortunately.

There is an "ignore thread" facility which will stop new posts appearing on an unwanted thread. On version 4.7 you select a message in the thread and then select Message-

to type "K".

For Netscape 4.76 on WinNT: Would someone check for other flavours?

To killfile a poster in one newsgroup, follow the following sequence: Click on the "From: " field as if to reply to the poster Select enough text from the address to be sure you'll identify the posts from that poster alone. Copy (Ctrl-c) Menu => Edit => Message filters Click New or Edit for a filter list as appropriate If Edit, click More to add a new idiot to the list (you can only have up to 5 idiots in one list in Netscape, then you have to create more lists - I don't know of any limit to the number of lists) Paste (Ctrl-v) into the box to the right of the "contains" box Select Sender instead of "Subject" in the left-hand box Click OK

To killfile a poster across multiple newsgroups, or to apply fancier rules such as all-caps, number-of-newsgroups-crossposted, or route: You'll need to write some JavaScript, apparently (any pointers, anyone?), or switch newsreaders.

To kill a thread, use one of: Ctrl-k Right-click => Ignore thread Menu => Message => Ignore thread

Nfilter will provides extra facilities if you are using Netscape with any version of Windows
