Check the headers, twerps. It ain't me.


I have, thus far, been unable to filter out these vandals using *any*
newsreader. Therefore, I loaded my own news server software to make
use of its filtering capability... which includes filtering of all
headers, attachments, and the body using strings and/or regex.

I have been running parallel readers and it looks like I have nearly
100% filter rate on the miscreants.

What has this got to do with the reader? You can read rec.boats from
my web page and/or point your newsreader to my server.....

...... either way, you'll see almost no posts from the newsgroup
vandals...

Gene, although I don't currently have him filtered, filtering Harry *does*
greatly cut down on the number of malicious posts getting picked up.
