Has anyone ever figured out how to do this?

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.

My killfile removes 60% of the posts in rrs. In addition I frequently mark
threads as "Ignore". This makes it easier to selectively read the remaining
posts.

Without a killfile, I would be long gone.

Agreed. My killfile is heavily populated. I get a big smile when I see
my reader report "downloading 85 new messages" and then, after the
download, there are only 50 messages.

I filter by poster for the obvious retards. And I do as you do: for
those people that sometimes post interesting, relevant info, but also
post a lot of nonsense, I employ a filter on the thread.
