Just come in from work, you say...? I've had 40 or 50K of 'em today. This floodbomb idiot may be back, even if he's got bored for now. Or he may have temporarily run out of posting hosts as they are blocked one by one. Either way, it's as well to work on suitable filters that may work on headers or author names... and pester our ISPs to filter, too. I've been on to mine, I hope everyone has - the more of us that do it the more likely they are to bother... and be ready if it restarts. I'm working on an "allow" filter that only retrieves bodies from a list of known people. Back on topic: We had a snow shower this afternoon, here! -- Dave Fareham |
