This is from my kill file: THRU 60564 /Marc Barrett/h:j Of course, this does not help me when "MB the Fool" continues moving around and posting from anonymous accounts. Here is the header from the post that generated this thread: >From convex!texsun!sundc!seismo!dimacs.rutgers.edu!mips!swrinde!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!sdd.hp.com!news.cs.indiana.edu!ux1.cso.uiuc.edu!news.iastate.edu!ccvax.iastate.edu!taab5 Mon Jan 7 15:48:50 CST 1991 >Article: 60201 of comp.sys.amiga >Path: convex!texsun!sundc!seismo!dimacs.rutgers.edu!mips!swrinde!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!sdd.hp.com!news.cs.indiana.edu!ux1.cso.uiuc.edu!news.iastate.edu!ccvax.iastate.edu!taab5 >From: taab5@ccvax.iastate.edu >Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga >Subject: Commodore Research and Development. >Message-ID: <1991Jan3.003449.1@ccvax.iastate.edu> >Date: 3 Jan 91 06:34:49 GMT >Sender: news@news.iastate.edu (USENET News System) >Lines: 87 He personally promised me (in email) that he would not purposely evade my kill file in this manner any longer. This thread represents the third time he has broken his word. I am tired of reading his ignorant postings, so once again I am putting iastate in my kill file. If you go to iastate and this makes you mad then do something about it. Figure out a way to impress on Mr. Barrett the importance of not posting his inflammatory rheteric from an account that generates an anonymous header. I don't care if he wants to spew his ignorance all over the net. But he needs to make sure he is identified in his header. -- _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.
