I'm looking forward to some troll-free reading.

Good deal -- but I'm curious how you will accomplish this feat, given
that "the troll" responds to virtually every thread.

This filter for Outlook Express marks his postings as ignored, and anything
from that branch on in that thread.

He no longer exists on my computer (Except the posts *ABOUT* him)

My 2/1 post:

I found the following completely eliminates mxsmanic from usenet, along with
any responses to him. Using this, I don't need to killfile anyone else. Only
responses to polluted threads are gone.

Tools - Message Rules - News - - New:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'mxsmanic'
Mark the message as ignored

View - Current View - Customize Current View:

View - Current View - Hide Read or Ignored Messages
View - Current View - Customize Current View

Un-check 'Where the message has been read'

Change the name to 'Hide Ignored Messages'


View - Current View - Make Sure 'Hide Ignored Messages' is checked.
