I agree with you. But these post used to be the rule, and have nothing to do with the genuinely nasty posts we've been seeing lately. And, using MacSOUP, those are easy to spot and skip. -- Peter

This is one area where I'd like to see an improvement in MacSOUP - if I've got a thread marked as killed (or 'killfile this person and all followups') then I don't want to see those posts -at all-. As it is MacSOUP still lets you see that they exist and get to them, which for people with poor willpower (ie, me) is no use at all.

And expected. Your dishonest quoting is noted and was expected. There's no "evasion". I explained my reasons which I have reinstated above. You snipped those reasons without marking the snip in order to represent my post dishonestly.

And usenet isn't meant to be 'ephemeral' - if that's what he wants then he may be better served by IRC.
