By the time a person slog's through all the crap in this ng they leave
before they bother with a kf. You folks had a decent group in the past.
Actually that's why I wandered into it, as I'd been here before and now was
looking for info in a cj. But you have one ------- here and he's totally out
of control, why sombody hasn't gone to his house and smacked him is beyond
me. Then again most won't bother with a kf, so why bother going to his
house, just move to another group. Which is what most of those with
expertise and info to offer have done.

Screwing with the coward is mildly entertaining for a bit but....

Reporting abuse is easy. there;s an e-mail addie in the headers telling you
who to send it to . in any case it'd be abuse@whatever.com

First, stop using Outlok express and get a free copy of x-news off the net.
Much asier to use in every way once you get used to it.
It has an excellent killfile option that I never use myself (well what
would be the point?)

Hi John-

Kill files are used in news readers. I checked your headers and you seem
to be using Outlook. I don't use outlook but I am sure outlook has a command
that allows you to place either the addressor or the subject line into a
filter so you don't see those posts when it scans. It's just like emails
going into a junk or bulk file. The problem with kill files is that almost
all abuse posts are faked or generated so they are unique every time they
post. This is how they get through the filtering.

ROFLMAO!!!! Bill has always been stubborn. ;) The goat posting guy has been
on his ass for a few years now. I've checked my kill file and sure enough
the goat shyte is in there.
