Thanks once again!!
So now I can google and find a particular poster by his email address, IP or
something else, how could I automatically post a standard reply to every
post he makes in a newsgroup?

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 <emasil@xxxxxxxxx>
| 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: <FaqdnRdkE8pz1fDVnZ2dnUVZ_sPinZ2d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
| 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.
So ......
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?
Line 2 uniquely identifies you in all posts made using MS Outlook
Express
as you have configured it for posting in this news group.
Line 8 *may* also uniquely identify you, if Fibernet assigns it
statically
to your account.
Line 6 uniquely identifies the particular post you made; from which I
can
deduce that you use Earthlink as an ISP.
Together, lines 6, 7, and 8 identify with whom you have Internet
service,
and NNTP service.
There are some NNTP services which don't display your NNTP Posting IP
address; but most do add something in the headers by which a reader can
classify a poster to some degree, or other.
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?
No. There are no cookies used on NNTP servers accessed by news clients,
such as MS Outlook Express. Cookies are used between web browsers and
servers, and would only affect your news group reading if you accessed
news groups through a web service, such as Google Groups.
Line 8 *may* also uniquely identify you, if Fibernet assigns it
statically
to your account.>
How do I do a search on newsgroup headers? Specifically, how would I
search
Line 8 of all posts to find 64.181.89.216?
Can't be done in MS Outlook Express.
Another question ......
What is "Fibernet"?
Owner of your IP address:

Apparently this service:
http://www.wvfibernet.net/
I would guess that they are your ISP.
Can I Google on an IP? If Yes, how?
You can just plug the IP address into the Google search bar. By itself,
the
results could be ambiguous. You can refine the results by combining the
search with other keywords.
