I'm using Thunderbird 68.10.0. Can someone tell me how to filter out
the nonsense posters and/or messages that appear in this newsgroup.

TIA. Bill S.

They are From: frelw...@gmail.com

I have my Tb Menu bar active. I select one of the unwanted messages and
notice that the email addy in the From is frelw...@gmail.com. Then I
use the Menu/ Message context menu/ Create Filter from message/

If you leave all of the defaults, the filter is already populated for
the correct From email address and the default is to 'Delete' which
actually means to hide from your view in the thread pane. An alternate
filter is to Mark as read.

The name of the filter is unpopulated so you can name it frelwizzen or
you can name it something else. You can also use that function in the
next window after you finish w/ the first to Run now. I also activate
my filter log so I can keep up w/ what filters have done.

First of all you need a good newsreader like claws-mail, that will
filter on anything in the headers.

Looking at the first line of the headers, you will notice all the
nonsense messages have one thing in common. That is, that first line
contains 2002:a

I filter on that and they are all gone.

Thanks for the info. You told me what I need. NOTE: Whenever people
answer my Thunderbird questions I rarely have the same categories, tabs
or options they talk about in their answers. In the present case, I have
to click the news server name in the left pane and there is a category:

advanced features

with an option: manage message filters.

I don't see any of those. Maybe my provider filters them?

Or kill subthread.

That is another way to get to the filters function, but on my system it
doesn't work right. That is, I have a filter and the filter has a name,
but that route doesn't show it.

The way I set up a filter which I described earlier causes the filter to
be applied to a *group* not the entire news account. When I access the
'news account' message filters, my filter for the alt.os.linux group
named frelwizzen doesn't show up.

Lots of posters keep talking to Commander Kinsey. To be clear, I can
not blame Shadow for his animosity but, really, I do not see why he stays
here now that he gets what this place is. Shadow is far more interested
in dialog as seen in a moderated environment and support newsgroups suck
for that. Are you being like Commander Kinsey on purpose? I think the
person you are responding to is in my kill file. The fabricator does
it every time. Then the flood begins. Because the milksop just has to
run to other groups. It's a decades long brawl, and Commander Kinsey
is simultaneously unable to stop his trolling remarks, while posting
with nyms that speak just like him.

That is the problem now and less experienced instructors don't care at
all; people from past generations (~60 years old) should know better than
to fall for communism. What did FromTheRafters hope for from the lying
imbecile? That Ian McCall dork has nothing to squander but time. He has
nothing else. Especially not confidence. Ian McCall lies so frequently
that he has a hard time keeping record of his lies. Or his forgeries and
other crap.

Perhaps you use it like Ian McCall. Do you not fathom the use of proxies?

If your provider didn't allow messages from googlegroups it's possible.
Either that or you did a filter a long time ago and forgot about it.

You are right, I have a filter for him and forgot. It is very rare that
I set a filter to "delete", most times I kill the thread or the
subthread, and this can be undone fast for checking.

He must post something pretty bad and too often for me having done that.

You do as you want, but I'd say you can keep it like that, there is no
reason to check now. I stop reading more than two sentences from his
messages a long time ago, and never saw improvement.

> He must post something pretty bad and too often for me having done that.

I don't know if it's pretty bad, he is sick and sometimes he forget his
pills or he escape and restart sending messages. But for the too often,
yes, he does. I don't count, but it looks like he send at least twice more
messages than every one else combine here. Saying he is flooding is not
an overstatement in his case.

From what I can see he is seriously mentally ill. I have snit and his
robot filtered so I only see replies. As long as he remains in the *.advocacy
groups I really don't care what he does.
He does tend to use socks so he can argue with himself and blame his
counterpart Steve Carroll, but those too are easily outed.

The one talent Bob Campbell learned well is to attempt to guilt Steve Petruzzellis
into submission and if that fails to work, shout him down or subtly change
the target. Show a case study of an effective company that has acquired its

For the past month, I have been seeing (on slrn) that there are 4,5
posts a day on alt.os.linux, and when I hit return on that group, it
instantly drops to zero. I killfiled him about a month ago.

Despicable Owl asked to be rated according to direct statistical evidence,
which I obliged him with. Steven Petruzzellis just wiped the floor with
Despicable Owl.

You're like a pregnant woman hiding behind a very skinny tree. We all see
you hiding there and tell you as much. And you're so foolish you keep rejecting
it.

Which do you think is the better troll? Steven Petruzzellis or Despicable
Owl? I vote for Despicable Owl; only because he occasionally does accept
what he is told, even if, sadly, he forgets it sometimes seconds later.

What's the group coming to when a Despicable Owl sock/shill fails to get
any reaction? And you do realize that it isn't impossible for Despicable
Owl to be doing this, or getting help from someone with a clue?

You've proven very little.

I see you are opting to lurch in Shadow's group of puppets and twisting
over a consideration that would have been a lot more 'factual'. There
are increasingly fewer reasons to come to Usenet and silly nonsense like
this highlights why that's true.

Usenet is an uncontrollable non-organization based on shared ethics.

I do not understand that. Bewilderment is bewilderment and there are
many who are okay with it. A few are even doctors.

Calls it "obsessing" over him, even though he continues to cause that
precise retort. Commander Kinsey's posts are nothing but an incomprehensible
brain dump. LXQt is probably my second favorite DE and the only one I
recommend to Linux morons. Primary interface is Pantheon, though. Being
able to do what Shadow does is all you want after the initial learning
curve. Studying NNTP protocol... forever a novice. LOL! Right, Commander
Kinsey is seeking to produce a programming interface variable, which anyone
can get in 5 seconds, that allows him to flood multiple groups. If he
wasn't so ignorant he would realize how slow he looks ;) Not only did
Shadow's request fail to allude to the "DE", it has zilch to do with UNIX.
Commander Kinsey should get back on his medicine.

You are as dumb as a shoe. What is the world coming to when a David flood
post can not get any notice? David must understand that others can go get
whatever software he has found, right, sicko? And, of course, anyone can
filter his posts, which renders his trolling harmless, just like David.
That's exactly what's occurred. Commander Kinsey likes to leave out such
irksome little particulars, though. Who else do we know who pulls carbon
copy trash? Oh, that's right, David. Our second David. Bam!

Turns out David's non-stop flooding comments of Commander Kinsey met the
agreed on criteria of trolling, so he abandoned that, too.

You are quick as a tuna on ice.

Given how repeatedly it seems that Jeff Relf's .sig file is some skew of
a narrative Ian McCall shared which had been a blow on Jeff Relf for something
he did which was foolish/untrue/etc... its clearly a common reminder of
Jeff Relf's deep rooted embarrassment for having been so routinely pwned.

The AOL installer Jeff Relf mentioned is read-only media. It is not possible
to write new information to it. It is as predicted that Jeff Relf feigned
indifference at the aspect of being seen as credible... knowing that it's
inconceivable to ever happen. The fabricator does it every time. Then the
deluge begins. Because the sissy just has to run to other groups. He is
obviously trolling, he got called out on it and he's doing the standard
face saving funny business covered in trolling 101 as he strives to retain
his pride... but it blew up in his face.

You've proven only what a moron you are.
