stuff snipped

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.

I believe I've only KF'ed only two, which is remarkable for a group this
size. Most people really do behave themselves here, and I've seen nothing
like what happens in groups that are the victims of deliberately destuctive
acts. A little around the edges, maybe, but well within tolerance.
Hopefully it can stay that way, especially if OT'ers can remember to show a
little consideration by marking their threads OT.

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.

Or, like the BP spill, until the problem is solved or fades from view.

It's easier to kill a thread without a second thought than to
configure a killfile. Perhaps more folks should try that instead.

Less panty bunching and more pressing "Next" goes a long way towards keeping
the peace.
