Recipe for Melon

TaraDanielle said:

does anyone know how to block a sender when using Google Groups? I read the whole FAQ, and it only
seems possible to block curse words and photos.

There isn't any such capability with groups.google. I recommend getting a real news service and news
reader. You can get free news service from news.individual.netnews.individual.netOpen ↗ and there are a number of
good free news readers.

Google is great for archiving and all that, but as a day-to-day news service they suck.

A.Melon is an anonymous remailer service, not a person. Killfile that "person" and you get rid of
that whole service, no matter who uses it.

While true, I don't think that's much of a loss. I don't see much legitimate news traffic in groups
like this from anon remailers. There times when anonymity is necessary for personal security, but I
don't see that here.

Unfortunatley for some of us, it isn't an option. I currently cannot send or receive email or access
newsgroups though my ISP. I can connect to the internet but I am must use web-based email; access to
newsgroups is through google so that I can post. Switching ISPs is not do-able. The ISP is the
government owned phone company.

You don't have to have news service through your ISP. Sign up for an account at:

news.individual.netnews.individual.netOpen ↗

That's what I use at home, because my cheapo dialup doesn't provide usenet access.
