All this talk of India is getting me thirsty.

Ya know, I've wondered about this guy. I monitor several other
newsgroups and he hasn't shown up on them. You may have broken the
code. A word search on India probably turned up RCB.
Who'd a thunk it.

This is funny because I almost ignored the post after seeing "India."
I was looking up the whole thing yesterday, and from what I can tell,
there's a large India nationalist body on Usenet, and there are a few
trolling shitheels in them. This guy's tactic is to append completely
unrelated newsgroups to the posts in order to generate inordinate
amounts of traffic.
If you look up Dr. Sahib's posting history, he has a bunch of posts
about "niggaz," if that gets you any idea. According to some folks on
soc.culture.india, the phD's fake too.
It's all too bad, because I always grew up with a positive impression of
India and the people from all different parts of it. Then again, most
of the people I knew were ABCD. This whole thing with people from the
north part of the country putting down people from the south, and a huge
Pakistan/Bangladesh/India screwfest confuses me. The comments in that
group do entertain me, though.

I've been marking every person posting or replying to those topics as
"Junk mail" and setting my reader to "ignore thread". It's not enough to
keep things perfectly clean, but it helps.

I setup a filter for rec.crafts.brewing that kills any messages that
have "soc.culture.indian" in the Newsgroups field. Took care of them
once and for all.

Agreed. I hadn't thought of filtering based on the Newsgroups line of
the header. That was a good idea.

I'm going to have to try a different newsgroup reader. The filtering in
Mozilla Suite's mail / news application is somewhat lacking.

I've used trn (and its predecessor, rn) for about 16 years now...almost as
long as I've been on Usenet. If command-line apps don't scare you, it
offers pretty good filtering capabilities.

Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier, but it just killed 16 offtopic
posts for me. Sweet!
