Once again Agent barfed on me and I had to start all over with my
newsgroups. Suddenly, I'm getting messages from people who were
blocked before (for whatever reason) and Mr. MI5-Is-After-Me and oh,
don't I wish I needed another watch or a hooker.
Come to find out Supernews is now Giganews and don't I feel special.
Thanks, Giganews. I didn't know what I was missing. I feel so
privileged now.
99% of this crap comes from Google Groups so off I go to try to figure
out how to configure Agent to filter it out (since Google -- mighty as
they are -- seems impotent in this respect. Just how long does it
take, in reality, to grow a pair?). I already knew it couldn't be
done, but I was hoping.
So I'm wondering what, if anything, other Supernews refugees are
doing. My "geek" days are in the distant past. I'm not interested in
installing NewsProxy or Hamster. Are you just making judicious use of
the DELETE key?
My filters are still working but there is a crapload of extra spam coming
through with giganews. I might go back to individual net myself. I pay $3.95
US for Supernews (giganews now) a month. Easier to pay the annual individual
net one. But I get Guy's originals now, he was the only one in the group
that I am aware of that I wasn't getting with Supernews.
