Ken,

Since it looks like it will never happen and I not only have to
read his messages that the two of you quote and your tirades
against him, I'm killfiling you both to end it.

I do not know which newsgroup reader you are using, but a few weeks ago I
posted a question about how, in outlook express, to suppress a *thread*
instead of just a single person. And that works quite nicely.

I see a new thread being started, but once set to ignore I do not see any
message in it, regardles of who the poster is. It allows me to ignore a
conversation, while still being able to see some of the well meaning
responders to it in other threads.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

P.s.
I do not blame you for killfiling though. I can imagine it must look like
nothing but a nuissance to anyone not involved.
