well established before I found them.

The solution has always been kill filters.

I reserve a killfile for only the most horribly obnoxious and
foul posters. I haven't really come across anyone like that in
this group. A thread can easily be killed by pressing K in my
newsreader which is Thunderbird and I will do that when some
idiot decides to advertise gold watches, etc. Most OT threads
will eventually fade unless it's kept going by jousting trolls.
It's easier to kill a thread without a second thought than to
configure a killfile. Perhaps more folks should try that instead.

Yeah but you are a Dufas so what do you know.
