I see from the headers in your post that you're using OE.

Simply select a post from someone you want to "killfile" then go to the
Message menu and choose Block Sender...

If you accidentally block someone you didn't mean to, you can go
Tools->Message Rules->Blocked Senders List... and remove them from that
list. The latest ones added are usually at the end of the list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killfile

BTW, to mung your email address, it would be better to add .invalid to the
end as that is recognized by DNS as being a genuine TLD to be ignored -
someone might actually register doyoureallythin kthisisreal and then they'll
get spam from "people" who scour newsgroups for email addresses. Adding
..local to the end isn't a good idea as about 10% of the load on the root DNS
servers is due to that.

Re: Sanity check

Stephany

none of your code works for me, I paste it in Excel it doesn't work
I paste it in VBS it doesn't work.
I paste it in a SQL job and it doesn't work



why don't you practice what you preach, BITCH

Kill file is your best friend :-)

I've added all the aliases to my kill file... and I don't see his/her/it's

Just a guess here, but you're probably using Google to access this
newsgroup right? If so you don't have access to a kill file (afaik).
Most other newsreaders do have the ability to block certain posters -
this list is the mentioned killfile.

Thanks, Stephany. I shall endeavor to make it so.

As for the other guidelines, I already try to follow those, so I hope I
have not been doing a poor job. I try to test every piece of code I post,
