One program is TWITKILL for Squish.               GT Power had a utility called SPOTKILL -- where you could tell the system       to delete messages to or from an individual, change the alias to a real name       (if known), or mark the message to stay local, and not echo out. Even though       I no longer run GT Power, I still have a majority of their utilities online.               Unlike FIDONet, the GT Power Network (especially in its heyday) would       have echo sponsors/moderators, like other message networks. But, the way       GT Power was set up, all messages would go to the sponsor/host system       first for moderator approval. If approved, they would be allowed to echo       out to the rest of the network, and to all systems that carried it.        Otherwise, the only system where the message would be shown was where       the message originated...as the moderator would've likely zapped it.               With FIDONet and other FTN (and also QWK Networks), any number of systems       may see the message before it gets to where the moderator is. They may be       able to implement "a feed cut", but unfortunately, these "twits" usually       try to get a workaround.              Daryl              ... I tried an internal modem, but it hurt when I walked.       === MultiMail/Win v0.52       --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32        * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (1:2320/33)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 15/0 18/200 19/33 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 153/7715 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 307 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/5832 249/206 317 400 266/512 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280 712/848 2320/33       SEEN-BY: 2320/105       PATH: 2320/33 229/426           |
