And my "obsession" (as some will say) gained me the skills I needed to
conform Sceptre and HSpice device libraries to PSpice format...
automatically.

(To be honest... "trouble-makers" are largely googlegroups posters,
though I have 39 of you, who still need to use googlegroups,
white-listed.)

Looking at the output of your RegEx tool after specifying a rule
was easier than cracking a book and slogging thru that?

Seems like the SPAM has been decreasing in intensity for a while. Maybe
Google has been doing something.

Maybe not.

Hey Jim, if you set it to kill all, you'll get 100 killed out of 100
messages. Now that's an effective filter, wouldn't you say?

It really does seem to be a lot better. I don't have any filters set up
with OE, and I'm only seeing a few spam posts a day, compared to sometimes
20 or more. I did take the time to report several of the worst offenders to
Google, and maybe that, along with the efforts of others, has caused them
to take action.

Thanks, Google. My personal boycott is (at least for a while) suspended.

And with only a little more work, he could kill the remaining 39, and
never read anything that upset him.

I noticed the same thing and have gone ahead and unblocked
googlegroups and aioe on the local filter. There's still (and probably
always will be) the occasional MAKE MONEY FAST!!!11!! lamer but no
more so than I've put up with for years.

No. I bought two books...

SAMS "Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes", by Ben
Forta... actually quite concise, and it got me writing stuff quickly.

Then "Mastering Regular Expressions", by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl... fills
in the gaps.

Both books were recommended by Jan Goyvaerts, writer of RegexBuddy.

YD, You are close to proving you have no sense of humor, thus, by

Strange. I'm not running any filters and I've seen quite a drop off in the
last week or two.

Possibly just normal fluctuations.

Could be.
...or maybe the offenders are seeing that spamming is ineffective
(especially WRT handbag ads in certain groups).

Perhaps they achieved their goal (gaming Google's search engine).

...but I think the most logical reason is that they found that
those who try to game the system are punished by Google,
who sets their PageRank to ZERO or DE-LISTS THEM ENTIRELY.

Maybe googlegroups _has_ tamed down...

Statistics from a "download sample headers: 200"...

Filtered by Agent as cross-posted to "nutcase" groups: 14

GOOG: 20
EYOR: 14
JERK: 22 RICH:
13
SLOM: 20
TURD: 4
AIOE: 5
PHIL: 1

TOTAL FILTERED: 113

"4-letter" Filters include killing any "troll-feeder" follow-ups.

Conclusion googlegroups is down to about 10% of nuisance posts, from
~80% a few days ago. Maybe the complaints are working!

What do you get when you blend ignorance, guilt, superstition and
fear, plus the promise of a supernatural being that will make you feel
good, no matter what your condition in life?

Normal people would answer, "Religion".

Liberals would answer, "Big Government".

Tithing will be by carbon credits ;-)

How about with the fashionable-to-bash 555?

Can work at least sometimes with no more than power supply, a 555, an
LED, 1 capacitor, and 2 resistors including the "dropping resistor" to
control/limit current through the LED. I am aware of some applications
(which I mostly consider adventurous) where via choice of LED and supply
voltage and power supply type there is some to good chance of being able
to get away with omitting the "LED dropping resistor".
This circuit can have high vulnerability to "various/whatever noise"
unless a couple other capacitors are added: One across the supply rails,
and another from Pin 5 of the 555 to either supply rail (traditionally the
more-negative one). .1 uF capacitors get cheaper than some "dirt" when
tolerance and temperature characteristics get "worse" (+80/-20% tolerance,
Z5U and similar temperature characteristics) so as to limit such
capacitors more to "shorting out" noise across power supply rails or
otherwise to use in filters where it is OK for the capacitor's caacitance
to vary a lot from one lot to another, 1 piece top another or with
temperature.

What, are you complaining that Jim uses sed as his own personal blog
or something? Why, _that's_ never been done by anyone ever before, has
it?

Besides, do you really think anyone cares about your prowess at
mocking Jim? Most of us can lead a long and fruitful life
without ever having a need to know about it.

Ahem.
