I find that the Google online reader is as easy as any reader to use as
any for quickly skimming mesaages for those that should be passed.
While there is no killfile tool, in some ways that is a blessing
because you can quickly scan threads and pass on messages or read them
at will. Usually the topic or the authors name is sufficient to make
that determination and Google will suppress the text until clicked on.
Killfiles have the obvious limitation that any messages from one author
are hidden, and I've found even the idiots will sometimes have a pearl
to share.

I actually come to read about radios and shortwave.
Any tool that will help me to that better, I am interested in.

If so, your advice is most welcome.

thanks

What I find most interesting about kill-filing is the number of times
some guy on this forum says he is gonna killfille someone, and usually
ends the sentence with a "plonk". And yet that same guy is within
hours back in fine form as the lead participant in yet another ****ing
contest with the one supposedly kill filed.

I suspect the number of readers that really use that feature are very
small. After all it would take all the fun out of rec.radio.shortwave.
Many threats, but no real followthrough.
