Ok I uses to love the Pics newsgroup. Seeing what everyone does is great.
And I've gotten some great Ideas from there. Thnaks to you all. But what
they heck is happening over there with this Krunchy guy. I can't read any
of his posts and they just keep coming. It's very annoying. Can we shut
this guy down?

In the days befor ISPs, one could email the sys admin when someone
was posting contrary to nettiquette and that would usually take care
of the problem.
These days sysadmins at ISPs are often not allowed to nuke abusers'
accounts.
So the only thing you can do, barring abuse of your own like rogue
cancels, is use a newsreader that supports killfiles and use it
to filter out his articles.

That is true because he owns the copyrights to his stuff.
That is what makes his stuff HIS stuff.

If he is posting material, the copyrights to which are owned
by someone else then he does NOT have a right to post it. If
someone else owns the copyrights it is not HIS stuff.
Possibly if this is pointed out to his host he'll lose his
account though more likely they will only act if they get a
letter from teh copyright owner, or someone puporting to
represent the copyright owner.

Does Outlook Express still have the "begin" bug, illustrated below:

Because if it does, you won't be able to read this.

I set up Netscape to filter out Krunchy's posts, but his traffic seems
to have driven nearly everybody away.

Augusthome is looking into him already. I contacted Gordon over
there when the a$$hole showed up. 4ax hasn't returned anything.
I'd recommend that you send anything that might be useful to both
of them and see if we can get him to meet Wally at the Graybar
hotel. Usenet is supposed to be free, but freedom and license are
to different things. Unfortunately some peole have no morals or

Actually it's fairly lively over there -- if you've got your filters set
to get rid of the Krunchkin and his little pals.

I have unsubscribed. I have a shared dialup connection and the number
of headers slows down the connection. Filtering further bogs down my
200MHz machine. There were a number of people feeding the pirate
trolls, so they continue to post their warez. My plan is to
resubscribe in a month or so to see if anything has changed.
What might work... Post links to pictures uploaded to your web sites.
Actually, it's fast and easy and you don't need to deal with a lot of
techy stuff.

Or download my TrollFilters (see sig), and use them with Nfilter as a proxy
server. (Google this newsgroup on Nfilter for more information.)

Yep, it also works for me on the NewsGroups.
Also has a good set of junk filters.

I the pics newsgroup from over 3000 postings down to 11 by filtering out
Krunchy and his little friends.

Learn to use a filter - just about all the readers have them. Unfortunately,
he has every right to post his stuff. It is the Usenet after all and
copyright infringement or not, he CAN post what he wants. However, if some
of the people would stop baiting him he will post his stuff and all will go
back to normal. I think he's in a screw you mode right now because of all
the flaming and the more complaints, the more he will post.
I use Outlook Express and Agent and both have excellent filters.
Just MHO,
Vic

they're mostly multi-part archives. not too hard to use, but you might
have to change the way you use your computer if you want to use them.

I believe Mozilla's "Thunderbird" has a filter to do just that. I use
Thunderbird but have never played around with any of the filters.
