The Nizkor Project: Remembering the Holocaust (Shoah)

Shofar FTP Archive File: people/g/giwer.matt//killfile


Many newsreaders allow you to "killfile" a particular poster so that you
never have to look at his or her posts.  If you are using a unix
command-line newsreader, see:
http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/documents/killfiles

The quick answer is to access your KILL file with control-K, and
add this line:

/mgiwer@.*netcom/f:j   (Giwer changes his userid every ten minutes or
so, apparently in the belief that we won't recognize him. That makes
the success of this particular command problematic. A more effective
method is to use the data in the header field Message-ID:

/news\.ij\.net/HMessage-ID:j 

If you are using a Mac to read news, we recommend "Yet Another
Newswatcher," which supports killfiles.  See:

If you are using a Windows machine to read news, we don't have any tips
at the moment -- stop by later, we're working on it.
