then killfile them, too.
here about 50% or more of all postings are wiped out by the killfile.



Or even more. I believe I was one of the earliest to point out that our problem
poster was just a troll. I caught a fair amount of flak for it but I ended up
killfiling him. Then I started sending emails to those who insisted on getting
hooked on his line. I caught more flak. How dare I threaten them? Well, they
weren't threats. They were nothing more than an advisory message saying that I
was going to killfile those who answered him and recommend that others do the
same.

The people who were offended no longer exist in my Usenet universe. Traffic
dropped considerably but so what? Most of that traffic had to do with being
trolled.

My killfile has plenty of folks in it and room for plenty more. It amazes me
that the NG is still dealing with this petty annoyance.

Have I earned a spot in other's killfiles? Who cares? Life will go on.
