I hate to totally block people who arguably have some useful things to post

no way to end it except by filtering all messages to
rec.radio.amateur.antennas to eliminate the dominant poster. So I have not
only blocked articles from his web site, I am blocking any article which
contains his name.

So if you reply to him, I am sorry but I will not be
able to see your remarks.

And, _that_ would be a Great Loss .... how?


Using a Real Newsreader, you could block by Subject: (as well as by
poster.) I find that even before I read a new troll posting, it is
_easily_ identifiable by both Subject: content and poster id. I mark it
for killing (by Subject for nn days and never have to encounter
anything in that thread again. Some logic if the poster is killfiled
here and I don't see the Subject: until the first followup to the troll.


Sigh. Over the years this Once Great ng covering antennas has been
slowly overtaken by a handful of twits.
