N.B. Unmorphing, because there's no point anymore.

N.B. Still morphing in order to - try to - help Ken Blake.

N.B. Intentional one-time morph, in case you've already killfiled me.

I understand your point and you're of course free to do as you see
fit.

Having said that, some comments:

1. In most (all?) newsreaders, one can mark a thread as read. If you do
that as soon as 'Arlen Holder' starts a new thread, you won't see
anything, i.e. not out quibbles.

Paul already confirmed that Agent can do this ('Ignore thread').
Thanks, Paul.

2. You may want to check if Agent has a 'Ignore thread started by poster'
feature. If so you can do 1. automatically.

I checked my old notes and Agent *does* seem to have a 'Ignore thread
started by poster' feature.

This is a partial quote from a 2011 posting in news.software.readers
[1]:

quote

In Agent 6.0, killfiling "JohnDoe" and choosing as Action "Ignore
Thread" means (after setting my View to 'not ignored') I see nothing of
his posts and nothing of those who respond to him.

So Ken, it seems that in Agent you can killfile 'Arlen''s threads
completely (i.e. also any and all responses), without killfiling us (R.
Wieser and me) in other threads.

Ken Blake did not respond (while he posted in several other threads).

I don't know why. Did the solution not work? Is his problem different
from what I (we?) think? Other?

Anyway, without feedback we can't help him. Pity.

But I hope this wasn't/isn't a case of a poster telling how others
should (not) behave.

3. There are many, many others (than R. Wieser and me) who respond to
'Arlen Holder' (see his recent list(s) of 'vermin'). Do you want to
killfile all those posters?
