The xnews score file which was posted previously has been updated to
block some additional free news servers and anonymous remailers.
Google has not been blocked (yet), because the score file is now
killing 99% of the spew in the rec.radio.amateur hierarchy.

Xnews is a free news reader which does not have to be installed.
Simply extract it from the zip file and start running xnews.exe.
You can obtain xnews from

http://www.download.com/3000-2164-10144167.html

and you can copy the score file below into score.ini to have an
immediately effective filtering system.

An xnews / slrn score file allows you to specify filtering rules for
each news group or for a collection of groups. You do that by
enclosing the name of the group(s) in square brackets.

After the bracketed name of the groups, you specify a score. I don't
bother with elaborate scoring, and instead give all matches a score of
-9999. That causes the matching posts to be killed.

So, for all of the rec.radio.amateur hierarchy, plus the flame_fest
news group, you can use the following score file (lines starting with
"%" are comments). Text case is ignored by default, so "get help"
matches "GeT HElp" when specified below. If you don't want to use a
rule, simply insert a "%" character as the first character of a rule,
or else delete the rule completely.

Hey Spew Boy,
You're also a major source of the BS here. Anyone who gets usenet access
from cris caputo should also be filtered. So stick your sorry trollin ass
in the next file update and don't forget to include your sock puppets.

Thanks, 73, Have a nice day. Happy to Help.
