Sometimes one or more posters posts to this newsgroup and don't really
belong here.
To avoid upsets, block them, so you never see their messages.
Do not reply to the persons mentioned in these "block messages" posts.
It just makes things worse.

How to Block Senders in Outlook Express
Highlight/select the post.
click on 'message' between 'tools and help' at the top of OE...
then click on block sender...

from there it is automatically done...
it asks you if you want all their messages deleted right now (yes or no)

and voila...you will never see another message from that sender.

or if doing it the long way of typing (or copying and pasting), block
the following poster:

poster name:     doe
posting e-mail : ironjustice@aol.comdoe

and

poster name: spam2death
email address: spam2death@comcast.com
(followed me from another newsgroup where he has an issue with me and
their Newsgroup Charter)

For those using Netscape, in my (version of) Netscape, it's Edit,
