Yes, but we really can't know how to filter your newsreader. Trick number
one is knowing how to see /all/ the header fields. In a support group that
I was involved in once, we had to block all the "free" mail host sites for
a while (yahoo, etc) to get rid of a particular troll. It worked.

======================
The woman's group I was on had one like we have now. There was no blocking
all his (or her, we never really knew) messages. Believe me, there are
ways the trolls and spammers get around killfiles. In disgust, one of the
people on that NG started a moderated group. Most of us moved there and the
troll ended up all but alone on the original group. I checked that group
just yesterday and I can see it's never really recovered.

This particular troll from ARJ-W is very good at what he does as he's been
at it for at least 15 years now, long before I got online. Most of his
history is on Google. He used to torment the people on the support groups
and on the atheism groups.

Forging headers is his specialty - he almost had my last ISP fooled back
there in 1997. He also uses remailers to hold conversations with himself
(sock-puppets). I think rec.ponds is just stuck with him until he tires of
the game and moves on......

EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries
before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
Do not feed the trolls.
