Then find yourself another news provider. When my ISP is giving bad
service I use news.individual.net as I suspect do many here. It
carries no binaries.

As for killfiles, I almost don't use them. And when I do I don't leave
the person in for very long. You can't prevent their posts getting
through as quotes in other posts anyway, so it really isn't worth the
bother.


Yebbut, nobbut.......

I used KFs a while back and then cleared them all out. I rediscovered the
Wondrous Joy Of Binning a couple of nights back and there's a couple in
there already (*no* prizes for guessing :-). This morning's 'pink tide of
brown stuff' had me reaching for the lever again, but I'll stay the hand
until I've had a look at some of it - although not expecting anything of
much interest, needless to say.....

The great thing with OE is that it scrapes all the crap off your machine if
you do finally get fed up with someone. The poor standard of snipping, as
you say, will give you enough to throw the odd rock at, if the urge takes
you. (On that subject, do I spy that the Pink Prat has started snipping
again after I named him yesterday???)
