Children, please stop playing on comp.lang.lisp.

You probably do not disturb us regulars too much, because every one has
either killfiled both of you (or lowered both your scores appropriately
as I did), but it could give a bad impression for newbies.

Hey Nicolas,

This is a bit off topic - but are you using google groups to view
c.l.l? Reason I'm asking is how you're setting certain people to
ignore - or rating them down. I know through google groups, we can
rate posts down a bit, but I haven't seen much really help from that.

Thanks,

David

As I said in <News:m3hbsrzxr5.fsf(a)moon.robolove.meer.net> on Nov 18 2009
"I'd expect the majority of readers killfiled me when this started", but
it will recur for reasons I outlined in the part Nicolas snipped out.

Most regulars use "real" NNTP News readers, which support scoring and
killfiles. I use eternal-september.org, aioe.org is another free service
and are servers.

I believe Those who use google are stuck with stuff like
www.penney.org/ggkiller.html

Only for completeness: I am using the newsfeed from my university
together with Emacs/Gnus. For lowering the score of some poster I
usually press "Laep" (Lower author exact-match permanent). Then the
subject lines for articles by this author are dimmed and I only read
them if I really want to. For increasing the score if the value of
someone's post is high I do "Iaep" (Increase ...). Then the subject
lines of posts by that author appear in bold. Maybe there are
better/easier ways.
