IYHO I'm guessing?

See, sometimes even the trolls, nutters and whisky soaked come up with
something interesting or funny (unlike the Linux geeks who never do)
and that's why I don't use a kilfile (and never have).

Right brainers have the ability to choose what to read and who to
ignore and do so based on such fuzzy logic that would have a Linux
geek / left brainer frothing (more) at the mouth. ;-)

Same here, I've never even considered using a killfile.

Not even for Stve Punder? (Spelt incorrectly or it'll trigger my own
killfile).

Killfiling someone is akin to sticking your fingers in your ear and
reciting "ner ner de ner ner". Very childish, IMO.

No, it's allowing you to read the interesting posts without having to sift through the garbage. Imagine your Sky box could automatically remove soaps/whatever you're not interested in form the planner.

Yes I'd have massive caps in the TV sheduale and I'd have no idea what was being shown at those times, so I miught think I;m missing out on something, so I prefer to see what is on rather than not be able to see what is on even if I don't want to wacth it I'd like to know about it.

No, it could just place a blank coloured box, or have "unwanted" or "filtered" written on it, then you'd know it was something you've decided you're not interested in, like Songs of Praise.
