Sorry to top post (just wanted to get your attention), but while you're at
it, can you do anything about this M I-5 (& variations thereof). I've been
putting in message rules but they don't seem to work. Talk about abuse.

Hi Hank,

As Ken offers, there are better readers than Outlook (the one you are
using). Mine is Agent, so I can answer for it. I used the free
version a dozen years ago, and bought the commercial version right
away. It allows for "regular expressions" in filters. With very few
of them, they wipe out a lot of trash. Of course, you have to be a
*nix wizard to know how to craft "regular expressions" but it also has
simpler rule structures that can cover a lot of ground too.

Can you do the same for the M15 spammer as well.

You have a direct line with Yahoo who aids and abets kb9...
If they don't care who they support then drop them.
Yahoo is probably happy with what their customers are doing
on the net. Ofcourse if MI5 can't get the other guy write
a letter to the CIA they would know what to do.

In fact they make it quite easy to filter by their own vanity. My
filter is only 7 characters long (written as a regular expression
M.I.5.P) and I have never seen a posting since adding it.

Art, I suspect the problem with MI5 is the drastic reduction in funding due
to the end of the cold war. One would think with the guy going to Canada and
Florida the MI6 could step in and make a good hit without the assistance of
the CIA. The CIA today is rather useless, not being able to even estimate
Iranian WMD capability much less using electromagnetism to effect mind
control :-)

More seriously, my theory is that this MI5 is a prank that started at the
psychology department of some UK university and the students carry it on as
a tradition year after year. They seem very adept at making themselves
unflilterable.

If MI5 could only stop him from coming back they would have 100% of my
support ;-)

I don't think it is organised,just a couple of wierdos. You have the
one
guy who lives in South London and then the other wierdo who lives way
up
North of Chicago. Actually they are so wierd that they don't even
communicate
with each other. Neither of the them work because of mental disability
which is not a bad thing as when they are caught they can be put in a
looney bin for a long while. Eventually somebody who lives nearby
will pay them a little visit and present them with a parcel or
something.
Fortunately their posts are easily recognisable so one can move on.
If the fphantom wave thing goes on much longer I may have to
communicate
with both of these wierdoos for a change in pace!

See http://www.five.org.uk/ or http://www.mi5.com/ Beware, there
tons of material there. This is the work of one very unwell man.
