I wish to kill file a specific poster on u.d-i-y. I cannot find his
email address, how can I do it please?


There are a number of ways to make the filter, and also a number of
things you can have it do. What will work best will depend on how you
need to identify them, and also what kind of removal you want:

So from address is a good thing to kill on, but so can be the
"organisation" header.

The action can range from simply marking their posts as "read", to
deleting them, killing the post and any sub thread, to killing the whole
thread.

I do now particularly wish to
name the individual as I am sure he will flame me.


If he is in your kill file by then, do you care? :-)

Drop me a personal email if you want specific advice.
