If you are sick and tired, as I am, of seeing Sven's ridicules posts concerning
long sigs then why don't you use the news reader Agent .99e and put him in your
kill file as I have done.  My news reader simply doesn't download headers from
anyone using his name, so I never see his presence unless you comment on his
retarded crap.

Anyone who is clever enough to use killfiles won't be using Agent.

How can you newsreader tell whether my name is in one of the headers
if it does not download them?  ;-)

Gee, I don't think one has to be terribly clever to use a KILL file.  I 
use mine all the time, and I'm just a brain-damaged tech writer!

Dejavu - "make money fast" meets "read alt.religion.scientology".
Thanks, but no thanks - I already have a personality^Wnewsreader.

Diane, if kind people like yourself didn't comment on his posts I would never
know they existed.  My news reader reads the headers that my server has
available for me to view and filters out the header subject or author depending
on which I wish to exclude.  This is a very simple example of the filtering
ability of agent .99e.  I highly recommend this newsreader.  It makes it so I
never have to download headers from asswipes spammers or flooders or
advertisers.
