neil@atari.UUCP (Neil Harris) (09/03/87)
Any chance of erecting a barrier against receiving notes posted to both
comp.sys.atari.st and comp.sys.amiga (or whatever it's called)? All the
notes containing both distributions are flames at each other. After 3 years
of this, it's pretty tiresome.
If you enjoy this sort of thing, I recommend the "Butter Battle Book" by Dr.
Suess.

Ok, hear that guys ? No more flames.

This should kill everything crossposted from there (I don't know about TO there, but it probably kills those, too). A similar line should work against comp.sys.ibm.pc, if necessary. This was cribbed from somebody's suggestion on how to avoid the spillovers from rec.arts.startrek and .drwho on rec.arts.sf-lovers. -- Jared J.

I think the /h means "look in the header for this string." Thus, adding /.*obnoxio@voobah.*/h:j MIGHT (repeat: MIGHT) work (and I have no pressing need to test this myself, so you're on your own. Don't blame me if you destroy your local news server along with that particular author's mail 8-) ). -- "Disclaimers? We got disclaimers!" Jared J.

Neil, I would like to ask you a (slightly) personal question.
---> Do you like your job?
I understand that you tend to wind up dealing with people who are not polite,
not intelligent, and not couth. This is probably depressing to you. In fact,
judging from some of your recent postings, it is anathema to you. So, why do
it? Massive stock ownership, perhaps?
We like you. Sort of. We certainly like Atari. How much would it cost to
hire an individual with infinite patience? Certainly not infinite money. I
am truly curious. Why do you do this to yourself???
