Yes. Configure a kill key.

You won't as long as you use Pan.

Use slrn instead, and you will find it fairly easy to block him.

Better yet, subscribe to news.individual.net which not only filters this
moron out but about another 100 tons of sludge you would never have to see
again.

If it would be so simple. On my screen right now I see 11 different
versions of these 3 characters.

This bastard is really creative. He uses different delimiters, variant
spacing and so on. The the possible versions number of his posts subjects
is nearly infinite.

I guess MI5 is having hard time persecuting him. :-)

It is that simple. The "." (period) above matches all characters. Do
like I said, and see it work.

Also consider that the more effort you go to, the more likely it is you
will lose another post which you might be interested in....

Thanks that works well.

Forward his posts to MI5 and help them persecute him some more?

I agree 100% that the two best friends you can have on Usenet are slrn
and individual.net. At times some sludge drifts through their filters
but they correct this within hours. Best €10 I have ever spent :-)

As for slrn, it handsomely repays the effort in learning to use it.

Mozarella is a good (free) server choice too. It seems to me that they
are also updating their SPAM filters regularly since I never see any of
this junk either. Or use leafnode and use its filtering - also a nice
way to understand more networking and daemon/scheduling on Linux.

As, if not more, powerful as SLRN is also Gnus.

I will have to admit that my brief foray into Gnus showed a /very/
powerful and vastly extensible program. But I prefer a tighter focus
on just news where Gnus is really an extension of emacs, and I was not
prepared to delve into emacs.

In Australia we have Fords and Holdens, in Linux there is vim and
emacs so perhaps there is also slrn and gnus, although slrn and tin
would be a closer comparison.

A shame as that's where the power and beauty of the emacs philosophy
really kicks in. e.g I recently integrated weblogger so now I can
instantly blog from emails or news, at the same time ssh with X
forwarding from an eshell, compile and debug, bring up emacs interfaces
to bablefish, local dictionaries, beagle or IRC servers - all tied in
neatly together with the same editing key stroke, buffer management,
between session management, the text based org-mode, the muse mode for
publishing documents in different formats etc. It becomes a way of life
:-;

It *is* hard to get to grips with because it is a vast program, but I
would heartily recommend this book:

http://safari.oreilly.com/0596006489

Without a doubt the biggest issue are apparent "dumb" key bindings. But
it becomes apparent after a while just why they ARE like they are and
when you realise that and are used to them you would never change a thing.

No :-; vim+slrn+a.n.other v emacs ....

Well I can suggest some sure fire methods, and that is either

1:- A daisey cutter.

2:- A 60 megatone tactical nuclear weapon.

3:- Hitman.

4:- MI5 actualy killing the prick.

5:- Car accident from no where.

6:- Pushed onto a train track.

7:- Poisen.

8:- Gasing.

9:- Hanging.

10:-Kicked to death by Saturday night drunks.

11:-Put on the Jeremy Kyle show.

12:-An order from the Queen to be beheaded.

13:-Shot at dorn or at any other part of the day.

14:-Taken to an all soft walled room never to be let out EVER.

15:-Taken to Space by NASA and accidently let out.

16:-Tell him to jump over some Underground rails, the Police will do the
rest.

One of those should do it.

Mike.

I use Pan. I don't see his posts unless some twit quotes him.

I use Pan also and the regex posted here yesterday filters quoted articles
also.
