Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / May 2006How to Killfile someone?
Hi Guys, I have subscribed to the Vet group and have made a reply. I know it won't be long before that wacko Puppy loser posts a mouthful of drivel. Can someone tell me how what and how to killfile him? Any help greatly appreciated..:) On a lighter note, Maxs would is looking really good so I think today we will open up the Rat house for them all to mix together. Patrick is going bonkers downstairs trying to get up to the others...LOL He is too big now to squeeze past the level..:)) Regards Kate  SignatureToday I may meet with injustice, ignorance, denial, all of which are due entirely to the other's lack of knowledge of good and evil and the difference thereof. http://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg > Hi Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > http://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg I'm not sure what email/newsreader you use, but for Outlook Express you click on the "Message" button up at the top of your screen, which should give you a drop down menu. From that menu select "Block Sender" and follow the steps from there. You should be able to erase all posts from the unwanted party. Sadly I have to do it more and more. Usenet is a haven for loonies! Good luck!

The only issue I have with Blocking someone is you don't see their posts but you do see replies and, assuming you read them, see what the OP has written. Sometimes it's better to use message rules etc to block by subject. Another group I'm on is constantly spammed with messages about the various political situations in Africa. At first I blocked the poster but I still got the replies. Now I wait until he has posted and block by subject line. Unfortunately this method is a little more work.

If you do it by message headers, too, you'll almost certainly never see them again. > In alt.pets.rodents.rats, Buck House Crew Jackie belched forth and > ejected the following: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > you do it by message headers, too, you'll almost certainly never see > them again. That makes perfect sense, however I've just looked at the options available in Thunderbird & rather pathetically it only lets one filter on Subject, From or Date, not References afaics (checking both Message->Create Filter From Message & Tools->Message Filters). ...Actually, there is an ignore thread Action, which perhaps in response to a suitable From match will do the job. I've not experimented so I can't say either way.

I mean there just /must/ be. I've just had a quick gander at the Mozillazine and came up with this: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=134359 &highlight=&sid=a03d2a778cb826d33483123c0d3b5a42 I don't know if it helps because, like I say, I only use TB for mail. > In alt.pets.rodents.rats, Michael Rozdoba belched forth and ejected the > following: [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Thanks for that ..:) I have blocked him as best I can and if it fails I will have to look at a standalone newsreader if there are any available free.

Usenet is a haven for loonies! Not to mention those who think that derrogatory terms for groups like the mentally ill are suitable fodder to use in such a context.
