Well, that didn't work. I wrote a script for Forte Agent that
automatically deleted anything cross posted to BOTH
rec.radio.amateur.antenna and uk.radio.amateur. It has worked quite
well until today, where Gareth is now posting only to
rec.radio.amateur.antenna with his crusade against plurality.

I think the easiest fix would be for Gareth to include
uk.radio.amateur, so that his fan club in the UK could properly enjoy
his discourse and so that I don't see any of it.

I don't know what you can do with Forte Agent, but with MT-NewsWatcher
you can create any number of filters. In addition to one removing items
posted to uk.radio.amateur (unfortunately mine kept me from seeing
Jeff's post until Stephen quoted it in another post going only to rraa)
you can create a filter sending things posted by a particular individual
to /dev/null, but that's dangerous because sometimes such people post
worthwhile things. Until now my anti-uk.radio.amateur filter has done
the job, since most puerile arguments pretending to be about antennas
(which is how we pluralize, not pluralise, it over here both in Canada
and the US, and if you don't like it that's just too damned bad) seemed
to get posted to uk.radio.amateur as well.
