I agree, I though that the comment was lame considering the current state of the
newsgroup.
I doubt though, the spammer is stopping any time soon. For him this is (f)art, he is
expressing himself and trying to find a way to go through all filters you put on your
machines.

You may have noticed that apas is periodically vandalized by trolls
and flooders.
Most "regulars" here have their own filtering tools
to keep the newsgroup readable for themselves.
"Newcomers" arrive naked to a place where the Usenet equivalent of a
full battlefield gear would be advisable, and both bandwidth and
attention may suffer.
In an effort to make your APAS experience more enjoyable,
I opened for public use the NewsServer I read through *myself*
whether at home or from some dial-up when travelling abroad
(i.e. with *my* filtering rules,
I feed from 3 upstream NewsServers
this satisfies *me* and 25-50 regular users so far)
server name: frogadmin.yi.org
port: 119 (standard)
user: (none)
password: (none)
newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server
alt.anonymous.messages

I used to think that was the case, but in fact our flooder seems to
deliberately make it possible to filter him. Each flood message
contains a couple of items that make body-filtering easy. These are
things that are deliberately added, either to feed Mr Flooders ego or
to enable that filtering capability. For instance, Frog's News Server
is virtually flood free, the reason is obvious for anyone who cares to
look at the filters that Frog-Admin regularly publishes. Now why does
our flooder, who seems to reap so much delight from destroying this
group, create a major loophole to make it possible to filter him out?
Any psychologists is the house? :)

Hi Zax!
Do you have any idea what newsreaders allow filtering in the body of
the article?

Hi Richard!
I would suggest checking out Hamster which is a great little package.
The latest beta release seems very stable and provides loads of
functionality. The main benefit is that it sits between your News
Server and Reader which enables you to retain you favourite reader. I
use XNews as a reader and find it excellent (and free!). It also
provides very good support for multiple sources.
XNews homepage is:
http://xnews.newsguy.com/
This page gives some good Hamster English installation instructions:

The latest Hamster download is:

Hope that’s useful,
Zax

Hi Zax,
Thanks for this info you and the others who have contributed. I will
keep it for future reference, and I'm sure others will have an interest
in these products as well.
I'm not actually looking for a specific newsreader that allows
filtering in the article body. For myself, I just delete each batch of
flood articles as it comes in. Takes a couple minutes--at most.
What I'm getting at is this--I wonder what general percentage of users
in this group can actually filter these floods, on the body of the
article. I would guess most are using some 'main stream' readers. (Not
to cast aspersions on any reader or other tool that has been brought to
my attention, here.) I use Agent 1.8. I don't think it can filter the
body--as far as I can tell.
Thanks,
Richard

I wonder what motivates someone to spend so much time driving people away from a newsgroup? Perhaps, he is opposed to, or
paid by, people who are opposed to anonymous email.
Thomas J. Boschloo
Or perhaps, the person just knows he can't beat some other person by
using clever arguments and thus has to resort to other methodes of
attacking that person, resulting in flooding, slander and other kinds of
attacks.
I must say that I don't have a problem with that since it inspires me to
find ways around that and I rather have it happen here then in other
parts of usenet that we here might never know about! (I know
alt.religion.scientology has been under similar kinds of attacks, which
led me to believe the Frog and Azerty remailers were being run by the
intelligence wings of the CoS if such a thing even exists).
I can drive people mad and frustrated I know. It happens all the time
and I can't help it or be helped for doing this. It's a decease there is
no good cure for yet, just like stupidity can't be cured yet. At least
not without a near lethal dose of violence that is, and that again is
where I tend to come in. I use my words as a weapon, even if it is
against everything I have learned during my youth and from the Bible.
Thada,
Thomas
