All you have to do is put OT blocks in the OE newsgroup filter and wah-lah,
a usenet group about boats.

Some pretty good posts as well!

leave the (OT) blocks off and it is still a born again N/G.
There have been limited OT posts in the last week (sort your posts by date)

Greg,

That is just one of my keywords. I add more as political figures and
issues change. There are still a lot that make it through.

If only a simple "OT" was added...

It seems that some programs strip the 'OT'. I wrote a message yesterday with the
header, "OT: Hey Eisboch".

Today a reply came back with the header, " Hey Eisboch!". The 'OT' was gone.

Eisboch uses Microsoft Outlook Express as his newsreader, so maybe that program
strips the 'OT'.

Yep.... a well documented flaw in OE. I think the initial attempt was
to prevent an OT: OT: OT: OT: OT: OT: or
subject line, but the solution absolutely lacked any sort of finesse.



It's easier to just killfile certain posters here who *never* have
anything of interest to say, and skip over the headers of those posts you
don't want to read. I can't recall an "on topic" post from Fritz,
Smithers, or Robbins that had any useful content.

I don't killfile political posters. NOYB, for example, is a rather
obnoxious political poster, but he's obviously a good fisherman and
experienced boathandler, so he's never been in my killfile. Karl Denninger
was never in my killfile, and he was to the right of NOYB.

I'm beginning to think, though, that I ought to add a new category of
posters to my killfiles: those who are overly unctuous, as it were. All
that oil oozing out of their pores gives me...pimples.
