This NG is getting useless

[Ant]

Or did you mean "Weebl"......that one is Laura's favourite.....and
mine!!

I don't know what a Weebl is.

PIE!!

As in: get in the kitchen and make me some? (Cartman) ;-)

That's Entertainment!

But bad "entertainment". Why the name/OnTopic of this ng is
alt.comp.anti-virus? Should be better a.c.private-flame,
a.c.private-war, a.c.un-mature, a.c.full-quoting, a.c.bandwidth-wasting
etc..

How about alt.comp.nitpick?

I'm full-quoting so you can see what heinous crime you committed.
You snipped nothing apart from attributions. If yer gonna snip, snip
content *and* the attributions that go with it. Do not include
unnatributed comments!

Thank you
This is my first time trying this so I have some questions.
Where do I put the lines?
Do I copy them as is?
Thanks again

Nfilter has a sample file with instructions, but all you need to do is
open something like Notepad, copy those two lines in, save as
nfilter.txt, close, and change the extension to .dat .

Anything other than .txt will add header stuff you don't want, and I
think I saw a note about avoiding blank lines, but don't recall for sure.

If you want to add a person to the filter:

* drop from:*pcbutts*

It's faster to do it that way than to add to my reader filter.

Some types of spam or kook generated posts can be avoided with:

* drop subject:*Good*News*

Replace * with a specific news group if you want the filter to work only
with that news group. The number of space in the line does not matter,
within sensible limits.

That'll get you started. Be sure to read all the files that will open in
Notepad.

Ummmm, English???

Too many "innocent" questions. I think we have a Borat.

Thanks again What "language" is this "* drop from:*pcbutts*" written in so that I may google it to learn
about it?

HAHA!
There arent rules for the "Language" or terms to use?

Think so.....btw, your clock is an hour out somehow. But the Whois
gives me a town in Alaska. Not up on *GMT minus* for that area.

Thanks Bart......I had the town/city, but figured it would be the same
zone as BC, which I now see it isn't. But isn't he still one hour
out?? He answered me before I posted.

Oh well, you guys can keep Alaska.....too cold for us, grin.

Cheers......Heather

Also, any newsreader is better than OE, but Xnews is tops in my books.

Ty. Dont know why my clock was out. Its fixed now.
By the way maybe language was the wrong term. But apparently no one can explain how you learn to wrt the
rules for the filters. Maybe expressions is the correct term. But whats funnier than my use of the word
language is the fact that you couldnt figure that out

Now here is some humor that should make you smile.

" Women's Ass Study "



There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their asses.



I thought the results were pretty interesting.



25% of women think their ass is too fat......



10% of women think their ass is too skinny......



The other 65% say that they don't care; they love him, he's a good man and they would have married him
anyway...

But isn't he still one hour
out??

I didn't pay any attention to the original post's time stamp,
just your observations about zone and know AK is between us and HI

Alaska.

I get to work on time and the computer matches the two alarm clocks, so
I think it's that dumb assed "daylight savings time" mess causing problems.

Never could figure out how to use it, and the bandwidth is so slow here
that I got frustrated and quit.

Thanks. I'll look it over. My only real gripe about T'Bird is how it
screws up when I accidentally double click on the left pane (and how
right clicking on a word to see why it is misspelled covers the word so
I cannot compare the suggestions with the misspelled word).

Tho, it was entertaining to discover "Mozilla" was not found in the
T'Bird spell check <G>.
