A new version of the TrollFilter is now available. Those of you who have been
around for a while can probably figure out why.
IMPORTANT: The method of retrieving the TrollFilter has changed. I've taken
down the email autoresponder, and replaced it with a (hopefully) much more
convenient method of obtaining the file. Simply visit this URL
http://www.milmac.com/trollfilter.php
to download the filter file directly through your browser.

Yup, and I've looked at the nFilter rules. There's nothing in there I
need that I don't already have.

Old joke.
Good joke.
Not made at the expense of a group of people -- no matter how anal any
of you tries to be, in asserting that it is.
Are you okay? Did you blow an aneurysm trying to prevent yourself
from using racial epithets, or other similar characterizations, to
make a joke?
I'm betting ... not.

Not a big deal for me... My software and wetware filters work pretty
well.
My news reader, Thoth, supports regular expressions so it's pretty easy
to get the results I want.

Now _there_ is a name which strikes fear (or at least total boredom)

he?

I'll second that
I think Neil needs to find him a moderated group so his fweelings don't git
hurt.
Doesn't seem that he knows how to handle a *UNMODERATED* group
Chunks
Three men had a very late night drinking Guinness. They left in the early
morning hours and went home separately. They met the next day for an
early pint, and compared notes about who was drunker the night before.
The first guy claims that he was the drunkest, saying, "I drove straight
home, walked into the house, and as soon as I got through the door, I blew
chunks." To which the second guy replied, "You think that was drunk? I
got in my car, drove out of the parking lot, and wrapped my car around the
first tree I saw. I don't even have insurance!"
And the third proclaimed, "I was by far the most drunk. I got home, got in
a big fight with my wife, knocked a candle over and burned the whole house
down!"
They all looked at each other for a moment. Then the first guy says:
"Guys, I don't think you understand. Chunks is my dog."

Oh, -that- one. It's relatively trivial to translate the nFilter rules
into expressions that Thoth understands. It's virtually cut-and-paste.
Aside: that software is _really_ popular at at least one military airbase in
Newfoundland.

It might be easier to just find your own private, moderated forum.
Then you won't EVER be ASKED to refrain from racist jokes, sexist
jokes, dead baby jokes, Holocaust jokes, ethnic jokes, religious
jokes, etc.
Why not go the extra mile. Everybody wins! This forum becomes a more

I ignored that long drawn out tirade also. I got the vague impression
that he may have actually got it started, but I never paid any further

And there's no Mac version of the nfilter program, is there? Too bad.

I say Ruth and Golda were walking along Hendon High Street.
Ruth says, "My son Irving is getting married. He tells me he is engaged
to a wonderful girl, but... he thinks she may have a disease called herpes.
Golda says, "Do you have any idea what this herpes is, and can he catch it?"
Ruth replies, "No, but I am just so thrilled to hear about Irving's
engagement - it's time he settled down. As far as the herpes goes...who
knows?"
"Well," says Golda, "I have a very good medical dictionary at home. I'll
look it up and call you."
So Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls Ruth. "Ruth, I found it. Not
to worry. It says herpes is a disease of the gentiles."
I thought you might like this one because it had Jews, Gentiles, and
sexually transmitted disease in it. There are about 3000 more similar
Jewish jokes here: http://www.awordinyoureye.com/jokes1stset.html
I picked the first site with a Jewish Joke Google. I got 1 MILLION 50
THOUSAND hits on that search.... you might have a long, long battle on
your hands...

I don't think it ever did get started. The original proposal to moderate this
group was shot down in flames. So was the second one (creating a new group
rec.woodworking.moderated). The third one (creating a new unmoderated group
rec.woodworking.all-ages) was eventually withdrawn, after it came to light
that there was massive fraud in the voting for its creation.

I don't think it's the same guy. Neil's an agressive do-gooder. Frito was
just a whiner.

Cloth, but no thigar. It's Thoth for the _Gander_. Only to be expected,
lots of MAC (<M>ilitary <A>irlift <C>ommand) traffic there. :)

It was Frodo or Ferdie or Whacko or something like that. Somebody (Joat?) pinned the nickname Frito
on him and it stuck. At the beginning of the rants I suspected the current character was indeed
Frito trying again to take over the newsgroup. I looked him up on Google and he just appeared out
of thin air last fall. All the chest beating, teenage angst and wasted bandwidth convinced me my
suspicion was correct. I immediately activated my anti-troll protocol..
A quick twitting and a couple of topic filterings fixed this foolishness. The Wrec was back to
interesting woodworking topics and discussions. I apparently missed some good jokes, but did get a
chance to catch up on unread messages. Life is good. DNFTMFT.

You're right, and your memory is perfect as usual.
