Following the various threads in AUE has become more complicated for me
recently, as a result of the automatic filtering of G2 posters by my
usenet provider (News.Individual.NET).

As is the case with most high-level policy decisions, the measure can be
likened to a silver cloud with a dark lining.

I have decided to make a list of regulars who have fallen foul of the G2
rules of News.Individual.net.

----

- Jerry Friedman (alas!)
- Bill Shaw (alas!)

- Lionel Edwards

- Arindam Banerjee (not-so-alas)
- Peter T. Daniels (not-so-alas)
- Dingbat ('Batshit', not-so-alas)

- Bozo de Niro (good riddance)

[The list is a work-in-progress. It does not include posters on my
block-list e.g. Peeler, Skippy and others.]

I use E-S and happily in the top cases I do see posts from the last few
days.

You actually believe your pretend-killfile behind which you (and some of
your senile collegues) are trying to hide is going to help you even a BIT,
senile twit? LOL

The following free Usenet servers try hard to filter spam
without affecting legitimate GG posters (even if they be
crazy):

Eternal September
Site : http://www.eternal-september.org/
Support: eternal-september.support

I2PN2
Site : https://www.i2pn2.org/
Support: i2pn.spam (?)

For other servers, refer to alt.free.newsservers .

This is probably due to a limit set in your newsreader. I
had a similar issue:

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=169937201800

With unlimited article downloads, E.-S. gives me everything
in this group from the end of 2021.

Thanks for the pointer, Anton.

I use <news.eternal-septmeber.org> as my secondary usenet source, to see
posts which I would otherwise miss.

(P.S. I hope Putin's pals don't put a contract out on Ray Banana. He has
an interesting .sig at the end his post.)

No, I'm happy with the feed I get (ie no spam, pure carbs)

I'm using eternal-september. Jerry, Bill, and Lionel are still visible
to me, but I suspect that I'm only getting a small subset of their posts.

Unless your provider has decided to block GG completely, it
is /much/ better to report false positives on the provider's
support channel, or in alt.free.newsservers in default of
one.

All the indications are that it has.
