I really don't know, I haven't used it. I would assume it has some kind
of 'kill this post and all follow ups' option though?

In 1.x and 2.0 it just has a "Mark thread as Read" option. In a version
being beta tested you can kill by reference to a message ID. The same
beta test version does scoring, but it isn't clear how you'd do scoring
in practice.

Any scoring afficionados around who could offer suggestions?

Rowland, like Sarah, has never been known to let the truth get in the
way of one of his fantasies.

He is obsessed with me, for years he has told everyone how I am in his
killfile, but he is far to obsessed to ever put anyone in a killfile:-)

It could all be so different if you were a woman, he doesn't suffer
women gladly, I just wonder what brought about his dislike of them.

> I think he's an all right chap.

Yes, he is very entertaining.
