Default Is this a fish discussion group...or...?

Hey all

I started lurking here in the hope to get some information about fish, the
keeping and care of etc.

What a surprise. Are the malicious and vindictive posts normal, or should I
just be quiet and the Trolls will go away?

Having said that, the information I have read has been very informative and
I'll be lurking and hopefully contributing in the future.

Cheers,
G

Killfile or ignore them. Don't let them ruin your experience here.

Contribute now. :-) But please remember there is at least one other person
here using my NYM. You will quickly learn to tell us apart.

Yep, worked that out pretty quick

)

There is a big difference in style and language between you and the other.

Currently we are breeding an army of Blind cave fish, various Tetras, Coral
Blue Gourami, Silver sharks, Red Tail Black Sharks and two varieties of
Sucking Catfish. We've managed to kill numerous of the same, as well as two
Bettas...no they didn't kill each other, I think the Blind Cave fish did a
ram raid on them and butted them to death (j/k). We also had a Black Knife
fish that probably wasn't suited to the conditions we put it in.

Cheers,
G

You must have a large tank or several tanks. Tell us a little about your
tanks.

In Outlook Express, you can 'kill' entire threads by:

In group view, Select VIEW - CURRENT VIEW - DEFINE VIEWS
Select Where the Message is watched or ignored
Select ignored
Select hide
Then in your group view, pull the view options down and select the new
view you just created (hide ignored is what I called mine)

I think that's it. Then in your display column, click on the glasses to
watch or ignore.
If you select ignore, the next time you open the newsgroup, those messages
will not be displayed.



To just killfile, MESSAGE, BLOCK SENDER etc..

====================
Spam-bots or Addy-combers crawl through Usenet 24/7 harvesting e-mail
addresses to sell to spammers. That's why you should always mung or fake
your real address. IOW if your address is so something
like this:
. People will know what to remove
to e-mail you, but the spam-bots don't know the difference. Once you're on
several spammers lists you may as well get a new e-mail address or some type
of e-mail washer software.
