Bi-Monthly Repost for group newbies:
Step-by-by guide for setting up in MS Outlook Express using

The overrunning of usenet news groups by net trolls, right-wing facist
bloggers and persons with mental health problems has reached the point
where most unmoderated usenet newsgroups have become unuseable. Such
trollers have become more skilled at defeating negative software
filters. Negative software filters work by identifying some unique
characteristic of the poster (mail name, source domain, unique string
in posts) and the blocking that message. To defeat negative filters,
computer skilled trolls use morphing identities and anonymous
remailers. The widely distributed Microsoft Outlook Express news reader
is not very robust against these negative filter defeating techniques.
For example, in Outlook Express, it is not possible to filter based on
a text string within the body of a message.
This webpage discusses an alternative filtering solution and provides a
step-by-step guide for setting up Outlook Express to filter based on a
positive filtering, coined here, as the connector-maven filtering
technique.
