Right. So the guy is spamming alt.dreams (and has been for *YEARS*) _despite_ having reported every one of his "squeaky" trolls for all the various reasons available, and yet (for some strange reason) google groups apparently does *nothing* to delete or
stop the constant off-topic spam.

So the question comes down to: how might it be possible to track the server from which the spam is getting dumped, and shut it down from *that* point?

The direct answer is you can't find "the server", because Usenet (where rec.aviation.soaring resides) is actually numerous independent servers scattered around
the world and the internet, and Daryl's post's are coming from many, maybe even all of them.

So what's a guy to do? It's my understanding that rec.aviation.soaring you read on Google
Groups is not a standard Google Group that has owners, moderators, etc., but is just a
conduit for rec.aviation.soaring on Usenet, which is unmoderated. You can not change how
Usenet works, but you can change how you get Usenet, and block posters like Daryl, with a
Usenet reader. This ability is built into some email programs, like Thunderbird, or you
can use a dedicated Usenet reader.

Without a reader of some sort, Daryl will find you.

But it's so much easier to stifle free speech at the source rather than
having to put in the effort to simply not listen or read what someone
that you don't agree with has to say.

Seems to me that what Kabatof has to say is always apparent from the
sender or subject line and, even if someone is too lazy or simply
doesn't know how to implement blocking of his manifestos, is it too much
to simply NOT READ THE POSTS? Once we starting blocking the free speech

No need to read history, anybody paying attention to current events can
see plenty examples of censorship being used to indoctrinate people with
a twisted version of truth. Which usually involves a whole bunch of lying.

Whenever somebody proposes a new improved RAS and promises no spam, a reasonable person should wonder who decides what is spam and what isn't.
Censoring Daryl wouldn't be controversial, but things quickly become
murky after that.

So there was once a guy named Lars (somebody) who had a server dumping a "Dream FAQ" in alt.dreams once a month (for what must've been *years!*) yet eventually stopped (thank God!!!)

It was my understanding that there was only *one* source that was dumping that content into the Usenet system.

Thus, with the squeaker's spam, it has to be originating from *somewhere* and the question is, how to find that source and "give it a rest," so to speak?

Sadly, I've long since switched to using "Google Groups" and thus suspect a very limited amount of filtering capability. IF anyone has a suggestion on where/how to start, I'd be interested in picking up any pointers.

(The old DOS-based newsreaders had *no problem* in creating spam filters.)

As an alternative path, I'd also be interested in learning if there's any way to address an admin-type level of the alt.dreams group, so as to attain a "moderator" status, if possible.

--- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05

If you use Thunderbird as your email client and news reader it's easy
and there are probably other email clients that will let you do the
same. Since I use Thunderbird, I can tell how I filter spam on RAS.

The first time you see a post that you want to block proceed as follows:

Right click in the From address field
Select "Create filter from..."
Select the "Match any of the following: button

In the pull down below select Subject, From, Body, then move to the
right and select a condition. I generally select "contains" and then
the email address of whomever I want to block or some subset of the
first condition, e.g., from, body, subject, etc.

And then select OK. The rule is now created. You can run it manually
and it will run automatically every time thereafter that you or your
system checks for messages.

So my filter rule would look something like, If From Contains Kabatoff,
Ignore Message.

There are other ways; just go through the menus, assuming you're using
an email client.

Good luck!

You've got it in one: what's now known as Google Groups used to be called DejaVue: tiy may remember it. I don't think the Googly ones modified it at
all: it (or its server) still archives all NNTP messages and the former
DejaVue is still just a search tool for accessing the NNTP archive that
Google maintains.

So, if you want the ability to ignore posters you don't like, install
either an 'old DOS-based newsreader' or one of the GUI-based ones (Pan and Thunderbird run under Linux and Windows, allow you to block trolls and are free).

While I sincerely appreciate the effort, sadly, I've been using "google groups" in a browser window, and as such, filtering spam may be a totally different issue, certainly unlike using a DOS-based program, or a modern droid (or phone) app.

Dunno 'bout "earth-saving," but it theoretically could *end* plastics pollution of the oceans (and landfills) by 3D-printing the vehicles using whatever plastics may be "blended" / recycled into the structure. Sure, some testing may be done to refine
either A) an optimum form of plastic, or B) an optimum *blend* of plastics, or C) whether both A *and* B may be viable options.

I couldn't stop laughing. Glad you took the time to inform us that the passenger couches could be fitted with car seats for infants,"

Glad you enjoyed it. That someone may actually find it laughable only adds to its viability. (They laughed at Fulton, Steward, and (some) at Elon, so I must be in "good company.")

The basic "flying donut" ring-shape would lend itself to arc-shaped couch-type benches. Again, a type of plastic best suited for a faux-leather texture would be optimum, as the plastic structure is *key* to the energy source.

but you didn't spend much effort on showing any sort of design for the propulsion system,"

That's because I lack the aeronautical engineering to "fit" parts A to B, etc. I do realize, however, that X pounds of thrust would be needed from a centrally-mounted (gimbal mount-type) fan, and that (after the manual, directional prototype is
established) a computer-interface will inevitably be needed to make it more akin to a "self-driving car" although more like the Apollo command modules, where the astronauts "told" the computer what to do.

except to claim that it is "viable."

Reality conforms to thought.

And maybe you should have explained a bit more about how the entire fuselage "could" be a 3D printed battery.

Well, that would be giving away "the whole playbook," as it were. Just know that it is "doable" and that such has already got a patent in place. It's simply a matter for the lawyers to hammer out regarding integrating "patent A" *within* "patent B".

My advice is to put the bong down and maybe take some Engineering classes.

I left the bong age decades ago. Also, there exists ample reason as to why engineering classes would be like trying to reinvent water in order to flow under the log bridge. Placing a log over a ditch requires no engineering degree. What would be
helpful, however, is to have an engineer with a questioning mind consider forming a partnership to accomplish the goal.

The best part of the plan, in my opinion, comes in foreseeing the air space saturated with the vehicles, thus the need to establish "flight levels" (traffic corridors) based upon directional vectors (which way the vehicle is heading) and the equivalent
of "social distancing" once airborne, as distancing is *vital* when it comes to human-based flight.

No such thing was ever admitted; the sentence structure of "you <verb>" reflects duality of ad hominem fallacy (as in "speaks falsely.") What *is* evident, however, is the utter *lack* of evidence of understanding (from the perspective of MM) regarding

Yup, I started to read the Jetson thing but lost interest.

Five Juliet comes from the early 90s when I took a partner in a glider
and we needed a contest call sign. 5J was available and non
controversial (I would have taken Sierra Hotel, the motto of my USAF
flight training class, or Tango Uniform) so we agreed to buy 5J from
SSA. After my partner retired from soaring it was easier to just keep
the call sign that I was used to. I still use it even though the SSA
says I no longer own it. It has no further meaning than that.

But, as to the Crazy Canadian I would prefer that he not be censored
because it violates his basic right to speak. Just as I have the basic
right not to listen or read what he has to say.

response someone offered regarding the Kabatoff individual.

I'll stay here and decide for myself what I want to read and what I

Yup, I started to read the Jetson thing but lost interest.

I seem to recall having heard about a car maker in Japan where a new type of car has just been rolled out that "hops" over traffic. (I've yet to see or hear of a second reference to this, however.)

As you may be aware, visibility during flight is something of a matter of life-and-death. I was thinking the "air traffic corridor" system would be interesting in a highly-populated air space (think of the traffic volume of the busiest interstate you've
ever traveled, and then imagine all those cars flowing along a corridor in the sky.) Some day, there will be a need for a "new system" of traffic protocols, just as there was during the transition from horse-and-buggy to the horseless carriage.

Five Juliet comes from the early 90s when ... we needed a contest call sign. 5J was available and non
controversial (I would have taken Sierra Hotel, the motto of my USAF
flight training class, or Tango Uniform) so we agreed to buy 5J from
SSA. After my partner retired from soaring it was easier to just keep
the call sign that I was used to. I still use it even though the SSA
says I no longer own it. It has no further meaning than that.

Reminds me of my old "CB license" (KIO-9085) and "amateur radio" call signs (WN4-JVT and WA4-JVT). Talk about dusting off the cobwebs! :-)

But, as to the Crazy Canadian I would prefer that he not be censored
because it violates his basic right to speak.

I see a difference between ending a spam repeater (like lifting the needle off a skipping record) verses denying someone the right to free speech.

Just as I have the basic
right not to listen or read what he has to say.

Right. I still need to "look into" any *possible* "filters" that may be available in Google Groups. Still, that only spares the individual, whereas lifting the needle off the record decongests the information highway (opens up the available bandwidth /
lightens the load on all the servers around the globe.)

The difference in "flow" which may be observed involves the difference between "observing" and "participating":

One who *observes* that "all judgment (as in [A judges B]) reflects duality" teaches that of which one "truly observes."

No. An observation is simply an observation. One need not "judge" if the sun is visible outside when it may clearly be seen (or not) in the sky.

Judging comes often in the form of opinion, such as when you wrote:> "The other posts are just pure crap" which judges [X] as "pure crap" rather than dealing with the logic (or lack thereof) within what is written.

The essence of your post (that started this discussion / sub-thread) involves the concept that [replying to anything relating to Daryl Kabatoff feeds the troll] which is exactly what occurred when you posted something relating to Daryl Kabatoff.

Meanwhile, as I have *zero* concept of what nation or political dogma you may favor, please keep in mind that the "logically challenged" believe "0"="1" and *always* accuse 1 of being 0.

is, in fact, a JUDGMENT, in violation of your own Biblical ramblings. The other posts are just pure crap (which IS feeding the troll).

Matthews intent wasn't to bar Christians from judging but rather, to caution them that if they judged hypocritically that they should expect the same. See Matthew 7:2-3.

If *I* were mayor of Saskatoon, why, I'd make everybody who quotes only Matthew 7:-1 actually bring out their Bible and read the next few sentences :)

Right, especially Matthew 7:2, along with John 7:24, Luke 6:37-38, et al. ✞

However, please *also* consider how Jesus teaches the vital essence of "EVERY WORD" in Matthew 4:4, which is where the *Light* of the teaching of Jesus *really* begins to *SHINE!* ☀️

For example, "EVERY WORD" encompasses the simple concept: "Judge NOT". As all judgment (as in A judges B) reflects duality, thus, [duality NOT] = Unity, and *Only* Love Creates Unity, which Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:44, "Love thine enemies," aka [1❤�

Something *super* interesting may be diagrammed (logically) from His verse in John 7:24,
[μὴ] [κρίνετε] [κατ’] [ὄψιν] [ἀλλὰ] [τὴν] [δικαίαν] [κρίσιν] [κρίνετε]
[mē] [krinete] [kat’] [opsin] [alla] [tēn] [dikaian] [krisin] [krinete] [[Judge] [not]] [according to] [appearance] [but] [the] [righteous] [judgment] [judge]
which translates logically as:
1∩(0∩(0∩(0)))
and diagrams out (amazingly!) as an *like* an arrow sinlessly intersecting a 3-D bull's-eye

Meanwhile, thanks for the discussion ✞

Politics and personality rants are bad enough, but when the Bible thumpers start posting, it is definitely time to go.

There's actually a certain element of truth within that statement— Those who use the Bible as a club do so incorrectly.

Personally, I was more interested in "WHY" do people follow *any* particular belief or idea? (Why do birds follow the updrafts beneath the clouds on a sunny day?)

Eventually, answers started to appear to answer the question(s).
