I don't read or post very often anymore in any of the google
discussion groups of interest to me, mainly due to the spam postings
put out by various inconsiderate fools or imbecilic morons like you,
Lin Liantai who post irrelevant posts in the incorrect forums(like for
instance the conspiracy nuts or jesus freaks making posts in forums
like alt.war.nuclear which are totally inappropriate forums for their
posts to be posted in).

So Lin Liantai or whoever you are, will you please just take your
bullshit posts which are totally irrelevant and inappropriate to the
sci.bio.paleontology forum, and please post them in the correct
forum(s). This forum is not the proper one for you to post in. It's
fools like you which really make me wish that forums like this one
were moderated, so that your posts would be deleted so as not to
clutter it up with irrelevant (dis)information.

Scrumpy.

PS: Lin Liantai please do us all a favour and just piss off.

If you were looking for an answer, Lin Liangtai is either Ed Conrad in
disguise or Ed's sole usenet fan. Ed Conrad is a famous usenet loon who
keeps finding fossilized human organs (gall bladders, penises, you name
it) in Carboniferous coal deposits. The only thing suggesting that Lin
is not Ed is that he's even crazier.

But have you heard of killfiles? Handy things.

How do you use a "Killfile" ?

That depends on your newsreader program. Consult your documentation. You
should be able to ignore all posts from any particular address.

Hey John,  Why not ask him where's the actual fossil evidence that can
back up his claims as fact? I'd love to see this.

ROFLMBO! This is the kind of garbage why I cannot support
"Creationism".

Never heard of them, how can you use them?

If you want to have a talk with Ed, fine with me. But please don't do it
on sci.bio.paleontology. I'm sure you can learn plenty about Ed by
searching the google archives. It will all be in talk.origins, and you
will find all the discussion you could possibly need.

Saw the site, wow I see what you mean, thanks for the advice.

Depends on your newsreader. I use Thunderbird, and there you can just
follow the menus, either Tools/Message Filters or Message/Create Filter
from Message.

What they do is list email addresses that, when seen on a message, make
the computer do something automatically, for example delete the message
without showing it to you. That is, you can make a poster invisible to
you. Good for disposing of annoying nuts.

At the moment i'm using MacIntosh computer using the OS 10.4 operating
system, and i'm using Safari 3 web browser, so in that case how do I
killfile Lin Liangtai?

You can't do it through Google Groups. You need to have a proper news
reader (I use MacSOUP, which, although it doesn't use the spill chacker,
is very useful in other respects) and an account on a server. I use
news.individual.net which is a €10pa subscription.

Safari is not a newsreader. (Though I have heard that it will have a
newsreader feature some day.) You are presumably going through Google
Groups. Sorry, you can't use a killfile. You need to get a real
newsreader and forget about Google Groups.

Hello Scrumpy,

Just avoid her or his posts, there's plenty of good science reads
still available on Google. Just do a search on a topic of interest or
start a new thread.

Hope your day is a good one.

By the way, this is not a "google discussion group". This is a usenet
newsgroup. Google is only one place to read newsgroups, and in fact it's
a seriously inferior place. Get a real newsreader program. You won't be
sorry. I recommend Thunderbird; it's open source, it's free, and it goes
along with Firefox.
