Talking of plurals
In article ,

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.
