purports to exist to actually work.

Having now downloaded and tried 3 different free Windows-compatible
newsgroups readers, I can report that the one that has worked best for
me is Gravity from http://lightning.prohosting.com/
~tbates/gravity/download.html

From a brief acquitance, it seems a well-thought-out package, with help
files (which is nice). It is possible to block incoming cross-posted
messages, and while I was at it I have also blocked our resident troll.

I also tried xnews, but couldn't stand the idiosyncratic interface. Also
Pan, but could not figure out how to block cross-posts with reading the
manual - which has not been written yet.

Having used Forte Agent for several years now I can only say I am very
pleased with it. It gas good blocking functions, however I still did
not find a way to stop the responses on blocked postings. That is,
without blocking the responders as well.

So, to all that respond to off topic post, trolls and other stuff that
does not belong he Please stop it, or risk being plonked too.
Don't feed the trolls!


But we're hungry!

You think? Actually, I rathe think that it was you who was delusional.

You took on the Bunyip.

and I'm only just getting started.


If you want more info just try asking Djikrie.

Or even better, Ralphie. I think they have visiting hours at the place he's
been commited to, but no computer access so it'll have to be in person.

BTW, I seem to still be here. No netkkkopping yet?

I'm disappointed.

BTW, do try and make the letter interesting. I save them, you know.
