Hello, Walt.
I will try your first suggestion (above) for the score file. The thing
that all of "John Doe's" posts have in common is "john@". So, that
seems to be the most reasonable first line of defense (offense?).
Thanks a lot for your reply. I am rather desperate, at the moment,
regarding this issue, because my "John Doe" poster is such a kook :)...
I only have so much time to read news articles these days due to my
work schedule. So, I want to make that time as enjoyable as possible.
