I could if I wanted to, yes. So could any number of trojans.

Would you email me at and show me how it is done. I don't
think it would be wise to post how it is done here in public!

Thanks!!!

Using that email address, I can also find your posting history via
Google
Groups:
http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...=0&scori ng=d

can you automate responding to my messages with a standard response?

I could if I wanted to, yes. So could any number of trojans.

...Could a Cookie on my computer detect
each time I posted to a specified newsgroup?

If you post via OE or another newsreader, no.

Thank you for responding!

Good information! Ok...., you can find messages in this newsgroup from
me,
can you automate responding to my messages with a standard response?

You said:
No cookies are involved when accessing newsgroups via a newsreader

Would you please explain that further. Could a Cookie on my computer
detect
each time I posted to a specified newsgroup?

Thanks for all the information you can provide!!!

If I search this newsgroup for messages FROM , I get
your
3 posts in as a result.

No cookies are involved when accessing newsgroups via a newsreader
(e.g.,
OE).

You say you would search on certain lines in a header ....
Are lines 4 to end unique to me and identify me in all my posts?

I noticed something else this evening .................
I watched as Norton Antivirus scanned my HD tonight. VAV identified
whay
it
called a "Tracking Cookie". Could this possibly be something this
"character" is using to track my posts to newsgroups?

Every post I make to newsgroups is being maliciously tracked by a

individual. I then receive pornographic email at home. Is there a
way
to
conceal one's identity completely (headers) when posting to a
newsgroup
using Outlook Express 6.0?

MS Outlook Express has little to do with what shows up in some
header
lines.
While you can control the name and email address, you can't control
the
IP
address. The server you connect to sees your IP address, and either
adds
it,
or not, depending upon how it is configured. That is up to the NNTP
server
administrator.

Consider your posting headers:

NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:47:25 -0500
From: Rob
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138
X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198
Message-ID:
X-Usenet-Provider: http://www.giganews.com
NNTP-Posting-Host: 64.181.89.216

Those are some of the lines I would use to search on. You have
control
over
line 2. MSOE controls line 3. Your NNTP provider controls the rest.
