The OT posters are making it extremely difficult to get anything done as we
have to wade through a multitude of responses to gather up the jewels out
of the base earth ... but I've tried as best I can to stay on topic and get
out a useable nfilter.dat file we can be proud of over time (as we improve
it together).

Here is what I have.

Let me know if there's something we missed in taking into account
everyone's constructive input below ...

# Start of Nfilter.dat to drop Sporge on a.c.f
# Enable regular expressions for this particular nfilter.dat file
# Hash marks indicate comments; blank lines are verbotten
# In NewsProxy, click Edit > Configuration > Enable Regular Expressions
# (with regexp turned on, exact match often suggests ending with .*)
# Tell your firewall to allow Newsproxy to function as a server
# Close and restart NProxy after editing the nfilter.dat file
