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... -=jd=- 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. Tracy That's why I don't. I think people that kill file have bigger issues. For Christ sake it only Usenet! I've got BIG issues then. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
