gnus, easy: just type M-x gnus-kill-file-kill-by-author RET on the
article of the author you want to kill-file.

F (shift F key) = follow up with quoting, no configuring needed (at
least not in my experience).
Regarding scoring, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Scoring.html#Scoring
(killfiles have been replaced by scoring).

Thanks,

Another person who read also contacted me directly by email to help me
with the kill file. I think I got it working and all, so I'll know
within a few days if it worked or not :)

Thanks though.

This is a noble goal, but "simple" and "language inspecific" don't go
well together. Apparently simple terms like "array" have slightly
different semantics in different languages, so to be language inspecific
you need to carefully define all these terms before you use them. If you
just write something like

a = b

without defining exactly what a and b are and what = does, everybody has
to guess and it is very likely that different people will guess
differently.

Hi David,

I don't know which one of the two groups you are reading more often,
hence the cross-post. Please check the difference between 'f' and 'F'
in the Gnus manual. The later quotes everything, and you get to strip
the bits yourself.

HTH,
Giorgos
