At least his postings pertain to aviation, unlike your post which
simply takes up space. Your post is far more like spam than his.
Thank you for taking up space in my killfile.

yours,
Michael

Does anyone know of an addin for Outlook Express 6 that will let me select
message text as the bassi of a rule?

Right now, anything *from* mxsmanic is blocked, and I can block anything
with mxmanic in the subject. I'd like to block all of the responses (message
contains 'mxsmanic'), and be free of this loser once and for all.

I realize that I should use a better newsreader, however this is what I'm
used to, and I don't want to change on his account.

Save yourself the trouble. I use Outlook Express 6.0 myself and have
absolutely no problem whatsoever with avoiding people I don't want to deal
with. I just scroll right on past them and go on to something else. This
works instantly for all situations as the unwanted poster's heading stands
out like a sore thumb and is extremely easy to avoid.
Saves the trouble of setting up kill files. filters, whatnot.
Works like a charm too :-)))))))))

I don't want to avoid people, only posts replying to mxsmanic, as if they
never existed.

It's him (or anyone else for that matter) that I'm referring to. Just pass
over him if you don't want to deal with him. What could be simpler? Of
course, if just seeing the name "Mxsmanix" causes some kind of traumatic
syndrome or physical pain to set in that has to be drowned out by a bottle
of Jack Daniels or something, hell, forget the kill file and leave him up
and showing as I've suggested; then invite me over and we'll BOTH get
hammered together and forget the crazy SOB ever existed!!!!! :-))

I'd just like to make him go away. It's like driving by an accident. It
takes alot of effort NOT to look. I don't want to expend the effort. I just
want him gone.

That 'something' would be John Powers Irish Whiskey

hell, forget the kill file and leave him up and showing as I've suggested;

How about at Oshkosh? I'll bring a couple of bottles.

Hey Dudley,

If you are ever out my way, let me know (contact by e-mail--give me some
advanced notice, I do not check yahoo that often :-))) ). I have a bottle of
Cutty Sark and one of Johnnie Red, stop by anytime. Would love to talk with
you over some "quaint libations". Tell old flying stories (ok, liesLOL)
and spend a quiet evening. The wives can compare notes about living with old
farts like us!! We will most likely come out on the short end of the
discussion stick, but after all these years of married life, what else is
new!! )))))))

Regards,
Paul

Outlook Express does not appear to support a text search withing messages as
part of a message rule.

If you really feel compelled, you can type most of the header into a message
rule as a way to delete any further entries to a thread--since OE won't let
you just copy and past the headers. But that will also discard the good,
bad, and ugly together.

About the most that you can do, that is productive, is to do as Dudley
suggested--and if an entire thread has become insufferable, you can
right-click any header and "mark the conversation as read".

Really the biggest thing you can do is simply to think for most of a minute
about whether any further response is *really* needed--because it does not
take long to glance at a post, or even read it, but composing a reasonable
response is a real time consumer. I did not think much about it until
someone posted a list of the top ten contributors for most of December, and
I saw my name on it. I then did my own research, and I am sure he was
wrong; but it was clear that I was spending *way* too much time--so I have
cut back and will cut back much further--and I will especially refrain from
challenges that demand a rebuttal, since they are guaranteed to double the
time spent.

All of that is a really long winded way of saying that it takes a lot of
time to compose a message, even without finding and correcting all of the
typos, and that if just a few people budget the time they spend, the group
will probably become much more readable.

He is obviously lonely and a social outcast. He posts so frequently he
probably rarely enjoys any face to face interactions with people. He spends
so much time on the computer he probably doesn't have much of a life other
than cyberworld.

Yet, his confrontational and argumentative responses get him the attention
he seeks in his own personal life, all of which is pretty sad.

Unfortunately, most of the people who participate in this NG enjoy flying as
an avocation. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, and much of this is
taken away when someone argues simply for the sake of getting attention for
themselves. A brief look at his website makes it obvious that he only refers
to himself, and that all of his focus is inward. He's so self absorbed it's
no wonder he alienates people and doesn't understand why. He simply isn't
capable of looking at himself as the root cause of his own problems.
