[dundee] List software

[Lee Hughes]

I was actually talking about my own post, I'm sick a tired of the sound of my
on typing.

anyways, I got this plug in for microsoft outlook, it's called Moron Filter V3.0

it's actually the first release of the software, but it's allready at version 3.0

how cool is that...

28.52 

oh, dear , look like even will the release of Moron FIlter V3.0, microsoft's
stock price is still falling..

any bets on what it will be near the end of the week.


Anyway, gotta go, off to sit with a laptop for a few years, and then get a PHD.

Cheers,
Lee 'Faraday Cage Head' Hughes

I may well be one of the posters annoying you but I'll try to help
anyway :) 

You can achieve this at your end with some bayesian filtering. Tag
some mail with whether or not you like it and let the filter learn of
that and then give a score to incoming mail from the list and sort by
that (rerouting stuff with a score bellow a certain threshold to
/dev/null if you want).

With less effort to set up most mail clients support an "ignore
thread" option for you to manually label discussions for ignoring.

This is one reason why email is better than forums: you control the
filtering algorithms.
