hmm.

okay, guys! another [OT] here.

you are lucky to use killfile in your news reader ... but, what will
happen to us using google groups as news reader? well, my net provider
blocks everything but http. so, no nntp access. do you guys know any
news reader using http proxy? and better public nntp host which allow
posting too?

sorry for the OT query and please don't include me in killfile!

----------------------------------
kill file: n.
[Usenet; very common] (alt.: KILL file) Per-user file(s) used by some
Usenet reading programs (originally Larry Wall's rn(1)) to discard
summarily (without presenting for reading) articles matching some
particularly uninteresting (or unwanted) patterns of subject, author,
or other header lines. Thus to add a person (or subject) to one's kill
file is to arrange for that person to be ignored by one's newsreader
in future. By extension, it may be used for a decision to ignore the
person or subject in other media. See also plonk.
