Newsgroup Reviews including alt.politics.bush

301 files from the third battle of cyberspace. (part two)

60 Newsgroup postings were deleted, after 15 hours. 
There were claims of major hacker attack, 
which turned to abashed embarassment.
 
It turned out that the NSP owner, 
had sent out a world-wide posting. 
It invited all users, who had forgotten their passwords, 
to just leave it blank. Then a new confirmation password 
would be sent. Cinderela was invited to the ball. 

Thank you,

Big Bertha Thing format

Anybody heard of the fly-paper trap?
Where all the flies are collected, in an unsightly mess, 
hanging from the kitchen ceiling. 
The expensive version is the lizard with a long tongue, 
that retracts after each catch. 

Take an uncensored version of a usenet newsgroup, 
show the subject line of each thread header, 
with the total number of postings and the net 
number of postings after extracts. 
Put the total number of extracts, in the first line, 
at the top of the list of postings. 
Anyone wishing to search the extracts clicks on it 
and finds each person extracted with 2 lines each. 
The first line shows the number of thread headers 
and the second the number of replies. 
Further clicks go down to posting level. 

Extract everyone with more than 1000 postings 
on any single newsgroup, from all newsgroups. 

Examples of the fly-paper trap can be found on:-

Big Bertha Thing filter

On sci.astro I just had a look at Xnews killfile.(14/7/01)
There are one or two problems.
 1. Free NNTP server access is a Warez activity.
 2. PGP probably has a CIA back door.
 3. Bertha subject filter will be valid for the duration.
 4. NTK.net suggests killfile needs to be too big.
 5. 301 files most wanted list is represented by precious few.
 6. Killfile is part of the problem, not the solution.
 7. NTK.net advocates invitation only filter.
 8. NTK.net regrets the victims whose innocent postings are deleted.
 9. Xnews is free and written by Luu Tran. (news.software.readers)
10. Filter is two-edged sword. (censorship and persecution)
11. Linux type collaboration is worst case scenario.
12. For solution see Big Bertha Thing format,as follows:-
