Why dont you tell
HIM to stop the practice of posting FA: fa: FA fa FA= fa= etc etc
to get around our filters and that will be the last of me.

Why would you filter out an auction listing on a newsgroup that is designated
for buying and selling radio equipment!? That would be like adding "packet" to
your filters in the rec.radio.digital newsgroup!

Because we want to!!?? Because we have the right to??!!
Because this is not "rec.radio.ebay"!!!
You are rude to expect us to look at your crap.
The guy trying to get around our filters is an ass.
He knows who he is. Why would he even do that? He is
trying to impose his posting on us even when he knows
we don't want to see it. What do you call a person like
that?

Honestly, I don't mind someone listing a ebay once in a while using
FA. The main problem I have is the one guy posting many items everyday
and trying to get around the filters. He knows what he is doing and
that is wrong. After all the discussion on here about him, he still
continues to do it. And this is not the only news group that he does
this on. The guy is a ass plain and simple.

Hey, moron! Just don't read em.

This is the proper group to post ebay auction ads, it is the idiots who
insist on posting them to DISCUSSION groups that screw things up.

Because this is not "rec.radio.ebay"!!!

No, it's rec.radio.swap. It's for the buying and selling of radio equipment.
Items listed on ebay are technically "for sale", although they are being
auctioned.

Most newsgroup readers also allow you to block posts from specific email
addresses. Why don't you use that?

That is correct, they are for sale at auction.

If they would provide some details about what they are selling, it would be
a little better, but to merely provide an eBay is similar to saying "go get
it, doggie". I gave up on using filters long ago, because of the ever
changing style of posting. I just add them to my kill file, and it works
great.

Because "I" should not have to take any extra
steps than "I" have already taken. That moron is
the problem. He is the one who should comply.
Leave me alone Mr Ebay Boy.

You're the one that's got a problem with the postings, you're the one that
needs to take the "extra steps". Unlike you, that vast majority of the
group here either: A) are not troubled by FA postings or B) actually want to
see them. You, and the couple of others who continually complain, are the
problem. Talk about "man-made" noise! I think the reason you don't filter
the FA postings or block specific senders is because you actually enjoy
having something to complain about. If you didn't have the FA postings,
you'd have to find something else to **** and moan about.
