If rfc shut down GoogleGropes, why would you need to killfile them?
Can't you just killfile the people whose posts you don't want to read?
Or, you can killfile all of GoogleGropes, and select out those that you
still want to see.
I don't know how it works for you, but I've noticed for myself in the
past, that sometimes when I see horrible posts, that only then do I look
at the source. I then tend to associate bad posts with GoogleGropes and
FoodBanter. I try not to do that anymore, and find that if I try to
look at sources once in a while, for both good and bad posts, that there
are many good Google posters and at least one good FoodBanter poster.

Most were 14.4, it was a treat to find one that was 19.2kb. I remember with our
300 baud modem starting to download a 1 meg. file at midnight, and it finishing
the download about 7AM, now it takes 8 seconds.

I use E-S for all my text groups, and it is working just fine!

Gee what a grouch. I'm not sure what the problem is. Most times, it
works fine. But sometimes it times-out and sometimes there's a lag when
posting. I won't be able to see a post on ES for a few hours although I
can verify the posts on other servers. At least they pass it on out to
other servers on the network - that's nice of them.
Of course, it is a free service so I can't complain but I can drop them
and look for another server. OTOH, I tired of checking out servers, one
day I'll just go over to the dark side and use Google Groups.

I think it goes back to your config as discussed earlier. Unless the server
is down like it was for that six hour period a week or so back, it is very
reliable and posts always appear for me right away. Maybe you should use a
different newsreader application that will let you set the correct config
instead of the uucp thing. Surely there's something available for your
tablet pc.

Um, Dan? I was just kidding.
I do that but it doesn't help with drive- by nutjobs.
As much as I like Agent it doesn't allow exceptions as far as I can
tell.
Google has some good ones and I know of the one good FB poster. I was
just being silly and I know I have no control over anything other than
my screen.

Sorry. That thought crossed my mind, but not until after I had posted.
I thought Agent did scoring. I guess not. My client can do it, but
I've never set it up.
It seems that my sense of humor was especially broken on April Fool's
Day!

Yes, it does. You just need to know how to write the filter.
Example:
Dave and not ( or )
No scoring in Agent. It's a usenet reader, not a game.

Thanks.

I'm using T-bird on a laptop running Win7. The server I'm using is
"news.us.Usenet-News.net" on port 443. Any info on this? It's the
nuttiest thing - my post gets relayed to the other servers including
Google Groups but not on eternal-september.
The only way I can post to Usenet on my iPad is through Google Groups. I
suppose there's some kind of way to access newgroups on an iPad but
that's the easiest way.

Ah, ignore my reply then, unless you aren't using 119 for
news.us.usenet-news.net which is what you said in the post I replied to.
