I have been recently wrapping the ends with the tie wire that comes with
the cable but I would like to know what you use as a USB cable strain
relief that works better.   https://imgur.com/yjHLBYt

It's about the right-hand side of the Path. You read a Path from right
to left. The right-hand side indicates (read: should indicate) the
origin server of the post.

The right-hand part of the Path is the same:

Joerg:

Path:
...!peer01.iad!feed-me.highwinds-media.com!news.highwinds-media.com!post01.iad!fx30.iad.POSTED!not-for-mail

You:
Path:

In this particular case, a long part of the Path is the same. Normally
it's only one or two !-parts.

The rest of the Path shows how the post got from the origin to your
news server. Because Joerg and you use a different news server, that
part of the Path is different.

HTH.

Ok, for me, strain relief is typically a term used to describe a method of securing a cable or other device into a connection so it does not separate or put undo strain on the connection itself.

You are describing something more akin to a reinforcement. Yes USB cables fatigue and break. No doubt.

I have used heat shrink, but it really just moves the problem "down stream" if you will.

You can also reinforce by over-molding with a material such as "sugru".... please google that. It works for stuff like this, in fact it typically exceeds my expectations.
I too use Sugru, especially where the connector/wire ratio is very large
and many different sizes of heat shrink would otherwise be necessary to
build up a strain relief. I've not been able to make Sugru
reinforcements look good but the stuff works like a charm.
 
Guys and Gals!

You are feeding the troll simply by continuing the discussion.

This is not only a free server it is an anonymous server. The user has
no obligation to identify himself. That is the reason why these servers
are so popular with trolls. And the very first nntp-server on the line
(in fact close to the end) tells you the injection point because these
troll-servers also suppress the injection-info.

It is easily possible that the routing to your server looks different
but not the injection point.

That's the best idea ever!
http://i.imgur.com/aJUXf.jpg\

The pen spring was suggested but until I saw your photo I didn't think the
pen spring would work. You showed that a pen spring _is_ big enough to roll
onto the Apple cable becoming what I had called a strain relief but I don't
know what it's called because others said it's not a strain relief.

That picture is PERFECT for what I want to do, and is the best and cheapest
answer yet and it relieves the strain gradually which is another perfect
thing!

Now I have to root through the trash to find all those Bic click pens I've
thrown away over the years! LOL

Well, I have been using news.aioe.org and freenews.netfront.net for a
long time, and I'm certainly no troll. I simply do not like to pay and
my ISP does no longer provide nntp.

Thus I make nothing of using a free server.

If a name shifter uses always the same server, well, that's a clue, but
not definitive. Posting from there is not definitive.

Now it is, but it wasn't a year ago :)

My system may still use aioe if the primary server fails. When using
leafnode one has a primary server and may have several others as
secondaries.


You could use a scoring system: if the posting server is a free one, add
some points. But you need other clues to add points to assure certainty.
For instance, that it is a new name, that it talks a certain way, has
some traits... ;-)


My issue is with thinking that a poster using aioe alone meaning he is a
troll or spammer.

NIN failing!? Can't happen! :) But seriously, I can also use multiple
servers as I have Hamster on my system, i.e. a local, private News
server on Windows, much like leafnode on UNIX/Linux.

Yeah, I agree. Same thing as people ruling out posters using Google

Free and anonymous are not the same. And I did not say all useres of
these servers are trolls but almost all trolls use these servers.

A free server but not anonymous would be the following:

That's why I had to put you on my "troll server"-exception list to be
able to read you.

I use more than one server as well but no anonymous servers.

news-out.google.com
news.netfront.net and
aioe.org

are responsible for a vast majority of troll postings in the usenet.

Would flexible/stretchable tape work?

My friend uses that expensive clay-like stuff and is happy with it. She
gave us a small lump of it, but it's too good to use :)

We still have paper towels used to wipe car windows without smearing
that a gas station gave my mother in 1962, They are too good to use.

Are they two ply? Pink on one side and blue on the other?
