CAN'T SOME ONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS SPAM FROM THIS MI5 A**HOLE?

Annoying, ain't he?

If you're using a newsreader that supports filtering on regular
expressions, you can kill all his frothing.

He's (currently, anyway) starting all his subject lines with
MsomethingIsomething5whatever, for example.

With MT-NewsWatcher, I set up a filter that cleans out all of his posts:

Kill if 'subject' matches the regular expression "^M.I.5"

where ^ indicates the beginning of the line, and "." represents any
single character. As soon as he starts putting more than one character
between M and I and 5 it'll break (but a minor change to the filter can
fix that).

Other newsreaders will do things differently, and will probably have
slightly different regular expression syntaxes, but it's a hint.
