At the risk of sounding prejudiced rather then discriminate, what are these types of posts doing in alt.support.cancer? "MI5 Persecution: BA984 LHR->TXL 13/6/98 (1330)" I mean shouldn't this person get with the "pogrom"? (okay okay, I reread the post and that was awful, sorry - really!) At present I find being persecuted by cancer is enough to deal with in this group. We don't deal with the balance of cancers even and focus on head and neck here. J, can't you find a home for this person? I simply won't waste expensive emotions on these posts and resent the space they take up on the screen. If nothing else, PLEASE SOMEBODY, tell me how to filter them out cause I am too illiterate in that. Thanks and remember we are all in "this" together but not "that". ipunty p.s. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving and if you can't taste it, imagine it - next year you will! Also, remember to pray for the troops! > At the risk of sounding prejudiced rather then discriminate, what are > these types of posts doing in alt.support.cancer?

Hello Ipunty, As of recent date, this should work for people using Google http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html Must use with Firefox - looks like you have it. If you read through the messages, "Google toolbar" is not required. Print that up as a guide on how to use. Leave message at the bottom of that page if you have a problem. I haven't used it because I don't have Firefox J.. > > At the risk of sounding prejudiced rather then discriminate, what are > > these types of posts doing in alt.support.cancer?

If so, might be easier following her instructions. I'm confused. There's 2 scripts Grease Monkey seems to be here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 and there's an "install now" button there.

I don't know if that's the right one. The other, when I click on it, asks me if I want to open or save. It's javascript and sits on the navigation bar as an icon or shows up on the nav bar when going into google? Why don't you ask them? There's a form there to ask questions. http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html J > > > > At the risk of sounding prejudiced rather then discriminate, what are > > > > these types of posts doing in alt.support.cancer?

"MI5 Persecution: [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > about! I am kinda iliterate when it comes to this stuff, sorry. And, > thanks! ipunty Vista has a program called windows live, it is very similar to windows outlook. Your ISP has directions and how to set up the email and newsgroup. When you have all those settings set you can start to filter posts you find offensive. If you don't have windows live set up, I would set up Firefox ( an alternate browser) with their email client. Do you have any kids or neighbor who knows there way around a computer they could help you set up the program. Alex Here is a link to your ISP on how to set up thunderbird, using your ISP settings, they don't have directions for window live . http://myembarq.com/files/embarq/support/EmailPrograms/thunderbird.php I don't see any mention of usenet groups, my ISP comcast has an option to set up an usenet account, I don't see that option on your ISP. My long winded answer is that from what I can see you can only access this group via google which doesn't not have the capability of filtering posts.. Other online support groups for your cancer http://listserv.acor.org/archives/head-neck-onc.html http://www.cancercare.org/get_help/tew_details.php?tew=head_neck_062607&ret=%2Fg et_help%2Fhelp_by_diagnosis%2Fdiagnosis.php > > > > Hello Ipunty, > > > > As of recent date, this should work for people using Google http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > about!

We'll to get this sorted out. http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html Another option is http://news.individual.net/ for accessing newsgroups with your Thunderbird but: it's $15.00 approximately/month and a year's has to be paid upfront. And doesn't help you if you want access the newsgroup when you're away from home.

For $10 one gets more gigabytes than one can use in a lifetime (if you don't do binaries). I've had it for 2 years and have barely made a dent in the 25 gigs. I use Thunderbird as my newsreader. news.individual.net was my news server of choice until they started charging. They want to hold a credit card number. Here's the web site for astraweb. Click on the 25 GB for $10 http://www.news.astraweb.com/ If ipunty (or anyone else)emails me, I will send him detailed instructions on how to get Thunderbird and set it up with astraweb.

He doesn't understand a word we're saying. :) If someone was there to see what's on his computer and talk to him about how he plans to use it and examine and explain the options, I think they could get it sorted pretty quickly for him. J >> Here's the web site for astraweb.

First, one only pays for the downloaded posts. Headers are not charged for. Most of the groups I'm on don't allow pictures or file attachments so with text only, it's precious few bytes to download I've downloaded many, many long posts. I subscribe to 12 groups and have to deal with the people who don't snip and those who insist upon copying every preceding post. In the two years I've been with Astraweb, I still have 24.78 GB left of the 25 GB that cost me $10 in November '05. At that rate, I'll have enough GBs for life. >> If ipunty (or anyone else)emails me, I will send him detailed >> instructions on how to get Thunderbird and set it up with astraweb.

Any ISP worth their salt provides a newserver at NO extra cost. I'd advise you to find a new ISP WITH a newserver included. > '05.

(A cancer-free lifetime) Sorry, I thought that was clear. From what I've heard the ISPs with the built-in newservers don't give great service. I know several Earthlink users who have gone to other newservers because of Earthlink's poor service. YMMV SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life Janet wrote : "Thank goodness Google has made Usenet available to all. Unfortunately it doesn't come with filters :-)" Hi Janet, Google's lack of per-user filtering seems like a strange missing piece to me. I am using "IGoogle" which I have custom tailored to fit my needs, and they did an excellent job on the web-ui for that, imho. I've thought of writing my own custom interface to Google, but have decided instead to see if I can develop and market a front-end for EasyNews (they've got some real deficits in their search engine capabilities for binary files). best, Uncle Sally > Janet wrote : > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > best, Uncle Sally Best to you, too, my friend. Go for it! Have fun with it! Maybe you can get some folks here to Beta it for you. I'm sticking with Astraweb as a newserver for my lifetime fee of $10. I don't do binaries, so it's plenty for me. I have used Agent but am much fonder of Thunderbird as a reader even though I paid for Agent. I downloaded Thundebird after making the switch from Mozilla Suite to the more modern Firefox. I missed the way MZ handled newsgroups. Tbird does it for me. SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends.

They've been around a long time and have massive server power. I use Outlook Express running on a computer using Windows XP Pro to read both e-mail and news groups. Outlook Express is an old program, and the interface to its filtering capabilities could certainly be improved, but you can block individual addresses easily, create filters to block messages containing certain words in the Title or body of the message with a little more effort. If you are using Outlook Express, feel free to ask for support. EasyNews gives you 50 gigs of download a month (more than I could ever use), have 50 day retention of all files on all Usenet groups including binary groups. Simple but effective user interface via the web for perusing binary groups and selecting files to bundle and download as zipped files. best, Uncle Sally >J wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > best, Uncle Sally The best to you, too, Uncle Sally. However, it pains me greatly to see someone paying at least $10 a month for what I received and have received for FREE, since April 1993. That's $120 bucks a year, MINIMUM!!! They just has to be a better solution out there. > However, it pains me greatly to see someone paying at least $10 a month for > what I received and have received for FREE, since April 1993.

I wouldn't pay $10 per month either, but I've tried free servers and found that I got what I paid for. $10 for life and good support via email is a bargain. So far I've paid 41 cents per month. The longer I use it the cheaper it gets. SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends.

I see you are on Windows Vista, you can filter posts on the Windows Mail program. Check with your ISP on how to set up groups. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, Alex |
