back in the 80s again...
Max Vasilatos
very sad.
I used to come to work and start in on net.audio and work my way to
net.women before I started in on my day. And when someone decided to bother
my newsgroup, we went to work on them in iambic pentameter until they cut it
out.
Do you really want to go back to that? HUH?

Remember Free 93? I used to bombard crossposting
assholes with all sorts of stuff in their email.
And that includes soc.bi's own lovely Muffy the Bar
Coach, who never actually did anything like have sex
with a woman even though she claimed to be
bisexual. Heaven forfend! That would mean she's a
lesbian! But how we laughed when her boyfriend was
interviewed on CNet news, complete with an infected
eyebrow piercing, yammering on and on about internet
security. Those were the days.
Yeesh, Hal Sparks is filling in for Stephanie Miller
this week on the radio (KTalk 1150 AM on the dial).
His voice is just a tad too, well, something. Not a
pleasant waking-up-to voice, I guess I can say.
So more wacky news from Indian newspapers? OK!
Dateline: Coimbatore
Headline: Elephant Herd Guards Pregnant Pachyderm
"In a touching instance of animal bonding, a herd of
elephants has been guarding a fully pregnant
pachyderm for past few days in Amaravathi forest
area to prevent it from being attacked by other wild
animals.
"While one group moves around this elephant
monitoring her movement and preventing possible
attacks by other elephants and wild animals, others
go and fetch food and water and come back by
evening.
"Forest Department officials said pregnant elephants
remain in an area where they can get adequate water
and the herd supplies it with food."
Ah, sweet mystery of life!
Now if only Doc and the other Nostradamus-loving
freaks would just go away.

Or (not to step on Max's lines) to put it more explicitly: This
particular weird stalker (maybe there's more than one, it;s hard to
tell) shows up here every year or two, and the *only* sensible
approach is to completely ignore him. *Please* do not respond to the
troll in any way, shape, or form.
Thank you.

JTEM hating posters would be more accurate. Yes, we will 'go
away'...but it would be nice that you fistly realised what a repulsive
bastard you have hiding amongst you, and secondly, to actually say so.

What Robert said. And, does anyone have the trn string for killing
crossposts?

Most of these are not crossposts, an unfortunate development.
Maybe, if ignored, they'll eventually fatigue of spewing their venom.

Oh, please, like you wouldn't enjoy watching as I
got my ass torched off....
it has nothing to do with "Venom." If a Charlie or
even an Arne went ape on me you'd be chuckling so
hard the Rudolph Family Jewels would be in danger
of falling off.
"They just tanked JTEM, again! I love it!"
No, the problem here is that what passes for "Venom"
in this idiot's mind is so lame that it couldn't get
into "Venom School" even if it had an under-utilized
Affirmative Action program, and federal funding was
at stake.
And I know I make things worse. I admit it. Instead
of ignoring this moron, I get all MelinDyke Shore on
him -- explaining things like, well, like how usenet
is not an outpatient clinic, and I am not a highly
trained, paid professional whose job it is to be
patient and understanding with him.
(Though, in my own defenses, many times out of love and
concern I have asked him to take his meds)
Piece. Or, um, maybe "Peace."

To kill all cross-posts:
/^Newsgroups:.*,.*/h:j
To kill alt.* and rec.* groups:
/^Newsgroups:.*alt./h:j
/^Newsgroups:.*rec./h:j
To kill specific persons (includes followups):

I like to tell kids how I would read things, as fast as you can say
"next next next".
Yesterday my yahoo inbox lost the vast majority of messages, and I
don't know if I'll
ever remember who I was supposed to send Gertrude Stein's "Steam Punk
moment".

Oh, and there was a standard line length, so I could put carriage
returns where I wanted, since the shape of the text on the page can
have meaning as well as the content.

The shape of the text still has meaning; it's just Google that's
screwing it up by pretending everything is the web.

I kill on , in the Newsgroups line.
Some people are more forgiving, and allow for a crosspost or two.
Here's my recipe: /,/Hnewsgroups:j

[...]

Newsgroups isn't in the overview, so I think that'll make it do a HEAD
on every article when entering the group, which might be slow. Xref is
in the overview, and lists every newsgroup the article was posted to
which is carried by the local site (with corresponding article numbers).
And this is why Panix carries alt.flame.niggers.

Ah! That explains why half my groups have this recipe instead:
/:.*:.*/HXref:j
Now time to fix the first half.....
Thanks, Jed!
