If MI5 can't stop him, what makes you think the list administrators can do any better?

In OE, you can also select any one of the messages and use Block Sender under the Message drop down. Block Sender will apply to future messages as well as those already in the newsgroup folder, while the Message Rule will only apply to those messages received in the future. Personally, I find him/her far less irritating than a Troll. YMMV Peter

This is Usenet, where there's no such oversight for unmoderated groups. To "block" someone, you have to personally ignore them. Your options depend on what software you read with. Those using Google Groups just don't read those threads, for example. Cheers, Kev

But warning....he started posting as MI-5, then the second round was as MI5, so you may need to add filter rules later on. Another option, altho I don't recommend it, is to filter any DNS address that ends with .uk

Another option, altho I don't recommend it, is to filter any DNS address that ends with .uk Often the nym-shifting nutcases will be using some sort of anonymous remailer, so just killfiling the entire domain is the best thing to do... For some reason, the anonymous remailers tend to attract this sort of individual... With the Pan newsreader, you can also filter on substrings in the MessageId field... This helps cut down on the rules in certain cases where the nutcase is nym-shifting the domain in the From field since the MessageId field still contains the original domain... A really good newsreader would allow you to filter on any of the fields in the NNTP headers... Unfortunately, I haven't found one yet that allows that much flexibility, but at least Pan gives me more flexibility than Outlook Express...

Doesn't matter what he adds or subtracts. As long as those three characters are in the address, poof, never see it.
