Formal Complaint: Roger B

In the meantime, do try a Usenet client that allows you to have a killfile to sort out the idiots. I like the Pan Newsreader, but there are many others. i have OE which has "block sender". is that the same or does killfile go by the sender's ip? |

Another bright one, F.Golightly. Are you Roger or whomever? You add nothing of value and try to hide your identity. I for one am tired of the spammers on these groups who have nothing intelligent to add and simply harass others. I do not know Marty Wallace and do not know why anyone would deserve this harassment. If I am totally off base--I still do not want to see this crap and I doubt that I am a minority in this matter. Yes. I encourage others to say something instead of being subject to this nonsense. I am Marty Wallace. I told Roger Bratton to stop harassing Alan Erskine on the aus.bicycle newsgroup and now he harasses me. In my previous postings I've put his home phone number and address. I can only suggest you contact his service provider and register a complaint. I'm in Australia, otherwise I'd visit Mr Bratton and deal with him personally. Do a search on ZBOXMAN and you'll find he's been harassing people for quite some time. Marty |

Block sender is pretty much like "adding to a killfile". It's the simple and quick way. Some of the fancier newsreaders let you get specific by specifying which subject to block--you can often use a wildcard to filter out stuff like "*viagra*" where the "*" can be whatever. You can also killfile by filtering by the references in the header. My newsreader (Pan) and many others let you set a "time out" on a low score (plonking or killing effectively just lowers the score to -9999 and you choose just to not view low scores, that's how it works) so that if you're having a spat with "Fred" you can ignore him for 30 days if you want. Most of these newsreaders keep the scorefile in a plain text file that can be edited with a text editor. A bit complex to be sure, but a little time invested can be well spent depending on what groups you frequent. Usenet spam varies greatly from group to group. I'd love to know why. |

Hi Marty!
If enough people file a complaint they (ISP) will take action. I recognize that I take the risk of spamming from this guy. However, he lives very close to me and I will follow up with the appropriate action. We should not let people like this slander others and collectively we could make the difference. Roger's diatribes are meant to be malicious and subject to review by civil and criminal courts. Brian |

were getting the BS. Regards, Brian |
