Thanks for the warning! They are probably using the site hits to build up their mailing list for yet more spam. bastards....

Chris ! It worked ! I just cancelled four new Autoloc ads a little while ago by changing my Free Agent e-mail address settings to match that of the Spammer. I had four new article headers, but i retrieved bodies for two of em. After i cancelled the 4 ads, i waited a few hours and tried to retrieve the 2 other bodies and Free Agent says "this article is no longer available" !! I tried to retrieve them via Netscape as well and they're not even on the server and never showed up. Cool. New hobby for me !! Randolio the Cancellator !!
DANGER! Third-party cancels are frowned upon by the USENET community in general. You are exploiting a loophole in the news exchange protocol. Your local newsserver may have accepted the cancel, but many will not act on it unless there's many other header lines filled in as well. Don't let this go to your head, because I've got a cancel-your-cancel program running to automatically take care of your abuse, and I can easily turn it loose on all your posts as well. :-) The charter of this group says "unmoderated", which means NOT moderated in any way, including retro-moderation. Don't earn the spot on my dart board next to the picture of Richard Depew, the leader of the self-appointed news police..... -Arthur

If you really want to know how to cancel, you need to read the RFCs. There are six or seven, look them for the current versions. Of course, if the wrong person catches him canceling a post (and there are those of us who know how to track a cancel, hint hint :-), your ISP may find him/herself deluged with requests to remove your account. And history shows that, abuses to the contrary, Netcom and AOL and the two most willing to chop a user at the knees. Depew is his own ISP. Which I guess made him god. Hmm, soapbox under my feet. -- dillon pyron PADI OWSI-54909 USPSA TY-26031 Seymour Cray 1925-1996 That was genius

>>DANGER! Third-party cancels are frowned upon by the USENET community in >>general. You are exploiting a loophole in the news exchange protocol. Arthur, I agree and after thinking about what i did i cancelled my own post the same day as i posted it, as i can see how this can be abused. I apologize for my transgression and will not take the law into my own hands this way. Randy

On Thu, 10 Oct 1996 09:55:18 -0500, Dillon Pyron <snip> Oh, Like I am hard to find? My e-mail & my real name are on all of my post. I have nothing to hide. I would tell you If I canceled a post for spams. If I didn't want you to know you wouldn't trust me!! <VEG> Abuse, hah, hahaha The only Abuse is the posting of Spams!! It is not like I would cancel a real article even if I didn't agree or like the opinion of whoever is flaming/or dissagreeing with me.

LOL I think it's spelled "pbththththt"... and my authority is "Bloom County"... -cw

Like I don't know this? So.... How do you spell a rasberry!! splplplplplplplpllll!! LOL
No, Depew is getting a UUCP feed from somewhere. Only his own arrogance made him think he's god. (Note no capital "G"!) If you too would like to see how the Depew-monster evolved from a professor of microbiology to USENET's most despised trash, see if your library has "The Chronicles of Higher Education", May 12, 1993. The picture on page A21 makes a neat dartboard cover! I wish somebody would SYN flood his ISP until they disconnected him. Sure beats crosshairs over his heart..... :-) -Arthur
C'mon folks-this is getting ridiculous. People post to several newsgroups to get as much info as possible, not to***you off. If you don't like-mark it unread and get on with your life. Jeff
