I still have the rule for hotmail, but I see kili's posts because
she has munged the @hotmail.com part of her address.

Those of you who use gmail, maybe you could do the same?
This way anyone who kills gmail won't miss your posts?

Best of both worlds ... for me, at least.

I completely understand, Nancy! Apparently when I suggested the name change
it was taken poorly. So, whatever. Now I just don't see their posts. At
least not until some loser gmail and hotmail folks give up the spamming and
go away. Then maybe I can unblock the domains. Remember when it was just
AOL? LOL

I just did the exact same thing, thanx for your post...

Remember when gmail "invitations" were highly - coveted...???

I would love if I had that option! I have that option with my email
and I don't like it for that.

Om is one person who has a gmail address, so I don't see her posts; she
should munge it so I can see her...

(laugh!) Why would I do that. Not intentionally, that's for sure.

It is possible to use a temporary rule in Outlook Express and
other programs to change the text color of a subject. You can
then see what the effect will be before replacing the rule with
one that actually deletes. People whose posts you wish to read
can be specifically allowed. I did not find the number needed
for gmail to be very large and you can usually notice a popular
new poster by seeing the name in replies.

I have no problem at all doing this with Agent. I can selectively
killfile, or selectively read whoever I want, no matter what domain it
is, and no matter if I have killfiled the rest of the domain.

I will give you the rules as suggested by Bruce Hagen on the
Outlook Express newsgroup.

Ok, let me know if this simple fix works please?
This way I don't have to change my .sig that much.

I had it munged anyway to help cut back on spam, but not enough to keep
you from killing it.

You are not the only one to kill all gmails so it's not a bad idea. :-)

You're not the only one who no longer accepts NG messages from any gmail
account. I run a couple of readers so looked at this NG from a different
service than I usually use. I quick perusal makes it look like postings
from Maxine in ri, Litte Malice and Damsel are getting blocked as well as
Omlet. A simple munging of from account name will clear-up the problem.

<shrug>

You think a cooking NG is over-run with gmail trolls and spam? Go look at
any active sports NG - especially the forums for NFL teams that have or are
going to play the NE Patriots.

Oh, believe me, I have seen worse too. It just aggravates me how
gmail, etc allow themselves to be mass polluters. It sucks. I have
added maxine back to my welcome posters, I'll add Little and Dams,
too. With any luck I'll catch anyone else when people reply to them
and I notice I didn't see their post.

Thanks.

I think thats the problem with a lot of companies like Google (the
spammers friend). They start out with good ideas (Google's policy
actually was and is still supposed to be "do no harm"😉. Then they start
making big money and turn into a faceless megacorp.

My buddy owns a local business. His elderly parents live in the same
town where his business is located. His parents were getting constant
visits by sales people looking for his business. Both have health issues
so it is a major annoyance. After some detective work he finds that for
some reason Google has decided that his business is located at his
parent's house and has that information in their business directory.

My buddy finds out that you can only submit a request via a webform. He
does and gets a canned response of "thank you for contacting megacorp
and we may actually look at this some day. After numerous retires he
spent the afternoon on the phone trying to actually talk to someone at
Google. After a lot of work he actually got someone who insisted that
even though it was Google's error and there was no basis for the
incorrect entry he would need to prove his information. He submitted the
information almost a year ago and the listed information is still
incorrect. He has not been able to contact anyone who knows anything and
just gets dumped into various peoples voicemail who never call back.

It sucks. I have
