That's exactly the way I felt reading that 'project' site. What project? Do you call killfiling a project? Did you read any of the quite stupid qoutes over there? It's like the tv commercials (O Doug, this killfile really works!) but I bet you don't watch commercials cause you killfiled your tv as well, probably by painting the screen black....

I don't use google news very often, but since I am working at different sites, and do not always have access to newsreaders, and have to work behind protected firewalls and proxies, so even my good old outlook express won't connect, I sometimes have to use it.
Am I a lamer now? They don't even explain what a lamer is (except a bus company)

I used to fight this spammer as well and got him off line one or two times, but since he returns with new addresses all the time, I gave up.
