What are you talking about? I'm not seeing anything but posts from
wreckers.

No, my filters aren't catching anything. I wonder if a server somewhere
has reguurgitated older stuff? It's possible that Supernews is
filtering at source, too.

No, I mean I'm not seeing ANYTHING. Not even being filtered, Owen.

I'll say it again... What troll infestation? My filters are not
overheating, and I'm not seeing ANYTHING resembling same.

Okay, I've gone to Google Groups and scrolled back a week. I still see
nothing, unless people are freaking out over two posts by "Raymond
Karczewski"...

Then I can only conclude that Supernews is filtering at source. I'm
happy with that.

You're giving the wrong guy a hard time. Just because you've well masked
the symptom doesn't mean there's not still a problem.

If your filters were running at source I might agree with you. But as it
stands there are resource costs all along the way so there's no way I can
agree with your assertion that masking the symptom is "entirely* equivalent
to removing the problem. It isn't.

Uh, guys, google has a nice "Find messages by this author" feature
which finds only one message posted to Usenet by

I'll just add a brief coment that for the avndal to judge the
effectiveness
of the defenses arrayed agains it, it must receive feedback from
users of those defenses..Evidently that is the motivation for
starting this thread.

The monkey cage at the Zoo smelled like this on some summer nights,
when the wind was wrong and the damp was rising. The light was greasy
and the carpet squished out a vile protest against his footsteps.
Norm Nowrecki had only been inside Momma's Basement for five minutes
and already he felt like he had a mouthful of dead flies.
The Defecators, the house band, pounded out their relentless one cord
backup to the insanely cackled lyrics of Louie Louie, without benefit
of melody or modulation.
The trolls had disported themselves about the Yoohoo bar in poses
intended to show their disinclination to appear as normal human
beings. Baggy black pants hung in such a way as to present their pale
pimpled flesh, arrayed in a display of derriere decolletage that might
have honorably been called 'plumber's cleavage' in people who had
jobs. The unremitting blackness of their attire served to set off the
grave-mocking palor of their countenances.
Nowrecki held a small block of cedar to his face and inhaled deeply to
keep from gagging.
The carefully studied androgeny of the troll's costumes did nothing to
hide the fact that this was a troll bar devoid of female inhabitants,
as was always the case with troll bars.
A sickening sweetness overwhelmed the cedar as a voice whispered wetly
into Norm's ear.
"Tage Frid."
The password! Norm dared not turn around but knew there was a friend
over his shoulder.
"Tage Frid."
Norm breathed back in a dead fly exhalation.
It was 'PineyWood' from the Wreck. No doubt about that, as the
redolent reminder of sanded Jummywood seeped through his troll
disguise to such a degree that it drowned out even the strident
sweetness of the Yoohoo.
Norm hoped that the trolls would take it to be a cheap body oil used
in an attempt to disguise the usual trollish lack of attention to
personal hygiene.
"Fudgepacker's in the back room."
Mouthed Pineywood just above the din of The Defecators.
"How do we get in?"
Norm replied and turned to look at Piney.
He was shocked beyond measure at Piney's appearance.
Norm Nowrecki felt his gorge rise.
(Next Part - The Back Room.)
(Note: I put these little pieces up during heavy troll infestations
as a way of keeping our Wreckish spirits up. If any of you should
feel that it merely acts as troll attractant, let me know, and I will
cease.)

Can someone tell me why all these messages are being posted to apbw from
power post 200? Or am I the only only one seeing this. The count is

Nope. Got all my filters set to tag the subject line rather than
delete it. The OP has a problem that is not related to actual
newsgroup content, unless he is reading way behind (like a couple of
weeks).

I am not using any filter either except for the Outlook Express one and that
is a manual filter that I have not used for a couple of weeks.

Norm Nowrecki - Part The Fourth.
SMEGMA (Supercilious Mendicants Encountered in Gaming Mall Abattoirs)
had the whole place wired. More to the point, they had Pineywood
wired. His color, usually that of a pale air-dried cherry, had gone
to the flat gray-green of a steamed poplar.
Norm began to take a light breath, in preparation to ask after
Pineywood's health, when Piney exploded with:
"He's back there! He's back there and he's made me sniff contact
adhesive until I told! I couldn't help it! Really!!!!!
This was far too many exclamation points for Norm and he backed
jerkingly away.
That was when Fudgepacker oozed into the room.
"I'm sure you've noticed the new troll attacks on the Wreck,
Nowrecki."
Fudgepacker spoke this in an oleagenous voice, at precisely one
quarter octave lower than Michael Jackson's, in an attempt to appear
human.
He was about four foot nine inches in height and nearly so much in
breadth - his hair hung in nauseatingly gelatinous curls to the
bottom-most level of his triple chins. His porcine eyes peered out in
dark gluttony through the bagged fat of their surrounds. The
inevitable and redundant black tee shirt showed the
whitish-cracked-salt-stained evidence of long unwashing which peeled
in scales from the armpits.
"I'm sure you've seen how we have driven off your best contributors,
how we have turned JOAT into T and how we have excoriated your best
loved member - Bay Area Dave."
Nowrecki sat on his smile, glad to know that Fudgepacker's
intelligence was less than what he'd feared.
The other trolls had formed behind him and were moving to back Norm
into one of the corners of the fetid clubhouse.
It was an angry scene. The troll mob went from a dull mutter to a
mindless shriek and pressed Norm back into the wall.
That is when the Motorola went off.
No one was more surprised than Fudgepacker, who thought that he only
had that number.
Seeing their fright, Nowrecki held the battered device up high and a
squeaking voice emanated from it, saying, "Tage Frid." "Tage Frid."
The trolls cowered - their will weakened before the sacred words.
"KlownHammer" said the squeaking voice.
Now it was Nowrecki's turn to be stunned.
The squeaker said again, "KlownHammer".
The trolls had gathered themselves again and made to rush at Norm.
There was a frenzy of motion. There was a glutinous cacophony of
sound.
Norm was knocked to the floor and, as his clothes were disarrayed, a
light showed forth from their folds. It was pure as a laser and as
the laser had enscribed it and it read, "Mea Mordeo". Norm grabbed
the handle and held it high in the room full of trolls.
"Mea mordeo", shouted Norm, as he held the KlownHammer high.
"Mea Mordeo" you shrieking sibilant speaking formica-loving
suckwads."
The KlownHammer swung in vast arcs, bringing dismay and decimation to
the advancing trolls, their cries giving harsh sound to Munch's
painting.
Its light, as the light from a thousand suns, burned into
the darkloving eyes of the trolls.
They were driven back. They were
disheartened. Some of them died. Some of them swore to get jobs.
The killing was wide and it was awesome.
This was not a slaughter of blood but one composed of meaning and the
giving of order.
The order of the KlownHammer.
It was the order that drove off the trolls.
What then is a KlownHammer?
It is an instrument for instruction.
It is an article of use in the
making of sense.
It is something that must be used in a coherent
fashion, to the betterment of those it serves.
Sometimes it is used in the killing of trolls. Sometimes it is used
to nudge the miscreants.
Nowrecki stood - warmed by his exercise, his hand warmed by the
burning handle of the KlownHammer. He wondered at the retreat of the
trolls.
But he was not fooled - he knew that they would be back.

Tom Watson

GEEZ I'm sure sorry man, lighten up. I didn't think anybody would see my
post because I thought everybody had their filters set to block everybody
that hadn't been around here for years.
That's cuz your filters are eliminating the effort of 10,000 monkeys

No, and no. To the extent that he's giving anybody at all a hard time, he's
directing it at the right guy, and you need to realize that masking the
symptom is *entirely* equivalent to removing the problem. The purpose of a
troll is to disrupt and annoy. Responses such as "what a dickhead" serve no
purpose other than to confirm to the troll that it is succeeding in that
effort. Trolls thrive on attention, even (or perhaps especially) negative
attention, but die from being ignored. Filtering software simplifies and
automates the process of ignoring the troll by making it invisible and
inaudible. There is no functional difference between a troll that nobody can
see or hear, and no troll at all.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
So, now the guy knows what he has to change to make it past your filters.
Glad you don't work for the pentagon.

Me neither. That NewsProxy program is most excellent.

Maybe the dummy forgot to change his address? All I'm currently using is OE
with the filters I set for the last "Mr. Numbers" attack. I saw the large #
of messages, but that dwindled down rapidly while loading the headers.

This type of attack has been around in the very same form for nearly a
decade, the message length, author ID and content can change at will
and realistically there is not a lot the ordinary user can do to stop
it. Newsproxy is my first line of defence with Doug's filters but
sometimes manual deletes and not filtering are the best method to
avoid loosing good posts.
But I'm glad I don't work for the Pentagon, the dipshit flooding this
place with crap probably works there in a senior role. :)

Got to work this morning and yes, all the crap was there on the Verizon
server. Perhaps SBC has a better system and filtered it out. They do a
very good job with my email spam.

I think you will find this is a classic "hipcrime" flood, sometimes
you will have previous (well known and legitimate) posters names with
junk subjects, sometimes with good (previously used) subject names
and crap authors. The only good thing about the recent flood is all
the messages were one line long so a good newsreader such as Agent can
sort on message length and you can manually delete them all at once.

You're still missing the point. Filtering the troll so that nobody sees its
spew deprives it of what it seeks: attention. Starved for attention, it dies
or wanders off, thus removing the problem.
I'm not going to argue this point any further, because doing so contributes,
however indirectly, to providing the attention the troll seeks -- and I hope
you will do the same. Stop feeding them (or leaving food out for them, which
is what you and I are beginning to do), and they go away.

No there were a whole bunch of posts either yesterday or the day
before, maybe a few hundred. Google occasionally gets it's ass in
gear and deletes them from their archives but they are still on many
news servers around the world.
