Harry is posting via two servers, Gene's and another one. A quick look
at the heads will tell you which server the posts are coming from. Harry
has the best of both worlds now. He can post in a well behaved manner
via Gene's server and at the same time post snarky replies via his other
server. Since the snarky posts are being originated from Gene's server
Gene won't terminate his access.


I think the point of Gene's server is, that if you were using it, you
wouldn't see the snarky posts.


That's what I thought also, until I looked at the posts. Harry's **** is
showing up there in droves.


But, I see none of Don White's **** there. And I've seen only three of
JimH's posts there.


Maybe it's working - a little.


The posts from those folks posting thru greatnowhere are being incorrectly
threaded and in some cases delayed on other Usenet servers.


I have no idea how they look on the greatnowhere server.


It screws it for people using other than the "great" server, this I know for
sure.


Right now, I'm using two. But the main one is the one I normally use, not
Gene's.

Filtering does a pretty good job, but there are some folks who have to
argue (needlessly and futilely, but 'respectfully') with the guy. Now, if
they'd only delete the quotes!- Hide quoted text -

That would be a start.. Especially when you consider only two other
posters can really join in them with any substance (like honest
debate) without being attacked... My family has a lot more experience
on the "working end" of the union, than even our friend wafa.. But
trying to bring those experiences to any conversation here is useless,
it's frustrating as hell. All it will bring is more name calling,
editing and reposting, and deflections.
