Thanks a lot, this is out of control, I can only hope that NO ONE is buying
ANYTHING from these time wasters.

So, if I posted about my new 'fake' Domino that I purchased at a 'wholesale'
price from 'China', you would chance missing it? ;)

Don't want to discuss it

I think it's time for a change

You may get disgusted

And start thinkin' that I'm actin' strange

In that case I'll go underground

Get some heavy rest

Never have to worry

About what is worst and what is best . . . hit it



Chorus:

Oh, oh, Domino

Roll me over, Romeo, there you go

Lord have mercy, I said

Oh, oh, Domino

Roll me over, Romeo, there you go

Say it again

I said oh, oh, Domino

I said oh, oh, Domino



There's no need for argument

There's no argument at all

And if you never hear from him

That just means he didn't call

Or vice-a-versa

That depends on where ever you're at

And if you never hear from me

That just means I would rather not . . . hit it

(Chorus)



Hey mister DJ

I just wanna hear some rhythm & blues right now

On the radio, on the radio, on, on the radio

On, on the radio, On, on the radio

On, on the radio . . . here's the band

With OE the following two "News" rules catch 99.9% of it for me:

Got to TOOLS/MESSAGE RULES/NEWS on the menu bar and create two rukes

Apply this rule after the message arrives

Where the From line contains 'watches' or '.cn' or 'china' or
'googlemail.com' or 'watchec.com' or 'chinese' or 'cheap' or 'sina.com'
Delete it

Apply this rule after the message arrives

Where the Subject line contains 'Fake' or 'watches' or 'shoes' or 'china' or
'tiffany' or 'cartier' or 'rolex' or 'POLO' or 'wholesale' or 'fuck' or
'boobs' or 'penis' or 'viagra' or 'watch' or 'jeans' or 'sneaker'

Yes simply go to Tools, message rules, news, and create a filter to block
messages with certain key words like watches, hand bags, etc.

Download and install a copy of NewsProxy, a.k.a. Nfilter, from
http://www.nfilter.org and configure the filters to drop all posts coming from
GoogleGroups, except for those from a few selected regulars here.

Filter rules to do exactly that are as follows:

rec.woodworking flag: from:charliediy|htroberts|dalemartin
rec.woodworking flag: from:[Jj]akofalltrades|fredfighter
* drop message-id:googlegroups

I don't filter and I can tell you not to get too excited, because the
spam count was down significantly today.

Also, you may want to watch your <CAPS LOCK> because I almost deleted
your message without reading it (lpoking like spam bacause of the
caps) but noticed your name and recoginized you as one of the newer (I
think) regulars.

Not that my reading your message is of much importance.

Since you're asking, I guess your filter is working well.
