Herb,
To fill the holes that remain after the "real timers" have walked away
(thread)..... I add.
Many of the zips contain self replicating trojan type malcode.
The malcode is looking for open boxes to convert to
zombie computers for the purposes of issuing DDOS attacks.
The history is well recorded in other places.

The last advice I had on this (from the author) was that the poster
was using alternating posting ID, rendering the filter set useless.
unless all GN posts were dropped.
He himself had resorted to trying to get something done at the GN
end.. GN was not cooperating.
This was back in June/July.. something may have changed since
then.

For ABCP.. this is the _only_ filter that works.. as I have said since
Day0001/2004

Is this right, Herb..??.. you have looked?
Apols for the assumed workload but at the moment I have limited "on
line" time, loads of "off-line" time, of course ..//laff
I too would find it _most interesting_ were ABCP the only group.
And I would offer hope in saying it would then be very easy to have
that account canned.. permanently.
