The first I heard about it was through an update dated September 19,
1998.  'Course, when you have to spend half your online time creating
new twitfilters because of some group of morons whose sole mission it

campaign to harass non-flame newsgroups then there isn't a whole lot
of time left over for any meaningful research online which might
uncover some answers to the problem.....
