Why is it everytime some one kill files somebody. They have to
tell
everybody about it? LOL!
At least with me, in *hopes* that it would help that person think
"Dang,DX is killfiling me, there 'must' be a good reason."
To be sure it can be used tactfully in some cases, but for the
majority
of occurrences, it appears to me that the person doing the plonk *has*
to announce it in order to get the satisfaction of "hitting the bully
and running away".
More often than not, the plonkee is going to respond to it anyway - so
everyone, except the plonker, gets one more taste of it. A plonk file,
used properly and tastefully, can be very effective. A plonkfile, used
as a hit-and-run weapon, is a tool for spineless cowards who probably
have ample experience with being bullied and *still* haven't figured
out the most effective response.
Just my $.02.
I wonder who's kill filed my butt? I really don't like being off topic
but I just can't help responding to things I have opinions about. Oh
well!
Fortunately, my newsreaders do not force me to read anything. I have to
consciously select the message to read. That's the most accurate filter I
can think of...

It's actually easier to killfile a thread. If you killfile a person,
you can always see the killfiled person's responses in other people's
posts. Kill the thread, you don't have to see them at all. I hate to
kill file people because sometimes anybody can say something
interesting and you can learn from it.

That's why I don't. I think people that kill file have bigger issues. For
Christ sake it only Usenet!
