Customers of Virgin Media's cable based broadband services were hit by
a sporadic outage last night, although it?s not known precisely how
many have been impacted yet the issue appears to be a national one.

Unfortunately the operator?s service status page reports that, for some
people at least, the problems are still on-going as per this mornings

Painfully obvious aren't they? The google-gropers and ntli/ntlworld/virgin
media users I mean.

Earlier today I responded to a google-groper calling itself "PC User" while
cleaning out OE so as to put it (OE) into storage. Seems this particular
vista-using-google-groper is having a problem uninstalling some piece of
**** IRC program that both the author AND the download site clearly advised
would NOT run on Vista.

Go figure.

Using Xnews I kill all posts with google in the MID on sight. But I
hesitate to kill *everything* from ntli as they have a few customers
posting here and there who really contribute to the group(s).

I think it's about time I delve a little further into the Xnews score file
capabilities.

There's probably a way to "white list" certain individuals posting through
ntli (et al) while at the same time 86ing the rest.

Xnews scores by rules sequentially. Put a white list above a ntl-kill
rule. Score the white-listers "=0". The equality symbol will tell Xnews to
stop processing that post at that rule and it won't be assigned the
ntl-kill -9999 score below.

You just saved me a lot of reading. Thanks for that.

Or you could create a single score file entry combining both the general
block and the white-list associated with it; eg give a score of =-9999 for
all articles with ntl in the Message ID but not for those with <insert
name here> in the From. (I'll let you work out the syntax for your
particular newsreader; I think from memory there is a 'flag' such as ~ or
! that you can use in Xnews to mean 'not'.
