Why doesn't someone appeal to the PTB and simply set up "alt.purple" and
"alt.11dmeow" and leave us adnormal SubGeniuses alone in piece?

Something I've always wanted to see on IRC was the opposite of a kick/ban,
a "sticky" channel, you might say, where you can cause individuals to enter
and not be able to leave. Sort of an IRC prison or fly paper.

Maybe we could all collectively pay off pimple's and 11D-MeYawn's ISP's to
drop every newsgroup except alt.hugs, forcing them to hang out there.

I'm telling you, USE THE KILL FILTERS!

It makes ALL the difference. Kill two authors and three newsgroups, and
it's like moving from a dog kennel to a mansion.

Trouble is, killfiling can get addictive.

Both of them are plonked as of now. We'll
see how long it takes before I've plonked
everyone but myself, now that I've opened
Pandora's box and learned how to use kill-
files.

Another handy killfile technique is to filter out certain types of
crossposts. In many newsreaders, one may filter, for instance, anything
that comes from specific other newsgroups, or combinations of
newsgroups frequently used by the dumbasses and/or by people who don't
stop to chop out the crossposted ngs when they reply.

I've ended up killfiling a few of the people who routinely respond to
the severe drunks and mal-aligned normals... at least, those who help
the fucktards proliferate, by not trimming the many newsgroups they
crosspost to.

This is the kind of "People's Fascism" that "Bob" advocates. No need to
censor the brain-fried from the whole Internet; it's easy enough to
blank them from your immediate vicinity.

Eventually, most of them eventually drift away, or die, and never come
back, Praise Fucking "Bob."

By the same token, in many newsreaders you can cause your fave writers
or binaries-makers to be highlighted, so that you're less likely to
miss good stuff.

I gave up on trying to keep up with EVERYTHING on alt.slack years ago,
so the kill-filters really help. However, I rarely miss anything on
alt.binaries.slack.

I don't recall the AOL filters exactly, but it might be that you need
to change Meow's filter to make it less specific. I used just the
letters "meow" -- anything with that in the "from" line is never seen
by me. Works.... god, BEAUTIFULLY. I cannot tell you how much better
alt.slack is without the crossposts from alt.discordia, vampire.flonk
or whatever, and the manic depressive's one.

It does make a lot of sense that the manic depressive ng would be that
way. Likewise the quitting-smoking ng, as Magdalen discovered.

It also makes sense that alt.slack would be full of authentic fuckwads
as well as noble bulldada kooks. I never thought I'd need to use a kill
filter on a.s. but now that I do, it is like a constant ocean beeze,
refreshing the air... or like a spring rain, cleansing the atmosphere
of toxins and garbage-stank.

This morning, SoFucked.9 still piling up at full bore, I worked on my
email filters. First I looked at my ISP website's customer service, and
activated for my account the basic set of spam filters they offer.
"SPEWS," "SPAMHAUS" and something else. That has already eliminated
most the penis and pills ads.

This, however, will not affect SoFucked virus, because those filters
look for who stuff is FROM. However, that (and other criteria) can be
minutely tweaked in my email program, which is the old workhorse
Eudora. SoFucked always uses one of 6 or 7 Subject titles -- Your
Details, Thank you!, Wicked Screensaver, Your Application, etc. I set
Eudora to send to the trash all with those IN THE TITLE (so it would
also get "Re: re: re: My Details", etc.).

Eudora still has to take the time to download the crap through
broadband, but I never have to see it; it goes straight to the trash.
along with the attachments. When I quit the prog, the Trash is erased,
or at least cleared so that only the FBI would be able to read it.

Also I finally used an anti-UCE return-address for newsgroups.

I never did this before because, honestly, I kind of enjoyed reading
and erasing spam headlines. I got to where I was PRETTY FAST at it. But
SoBig was the last straw email-wise, just as Meow was the last straw
newsgroup fuckwads-wise.

"Ruining it for everybody" is a mark of PRIDE to those who cannot do
anything good.

And I don't mean "well," I mean GOOD.

I tend to mark all the boring loonies in PINK. Once I open up the
newsgroup for a few weeks in a row and nothing is pink, I delete them and
start again.

"We do, after all, sometimes go to the movies just to have a good time and
not to be mired in a slough of existential despond. Don't get me wrong. I
like a good mire in despond now and again; it's just that the despond at
Cannes has been so unadmirable."
