Unfortunately your troll filter instructions are below the "-- " so TB
drops it:

Easy ACF Troll filter:
1. Add Franklin, Hummingbird, Bear Bottoms, Ari, David W, Jeffrey Bloss,
Nicodemus and John Stubbings.
2. Add *anyone* who replies to them.
3. Filter posts from Google Groups
4. Filter posts from x-privat.org
5. Filter posts from theremailer
6. Filter crossposts
7. Enjoy ACF!
8. More Info here: http://clients.net2000.com.au/~johnf/forgery.htm
<rev20100104>

Also I think #2 is too harsh and may be too much work as newbies do
wander by.

It is harsh but this is the best way to kill sock puppets and those
who feed trolls. Unfortunately some of the regulars feel the need to
stroke BB and others from time to time.............. I usually let
this pass or set the filter to expire in a few days unless it becomes
chronic ;-)

Well I may be in your filter list cause I have (on rare occasions)
replied to BB when he posted or said something useful. I generally just
ignore posts from the named folks.

Seems I have the lads at alt.comp.freeware in a right tizzy, and all I done
was thank you for your information. God help them if all it takes to be
upset is a thank you reply to a newsgroup:-(
