I'm not thrilled and I'm not angry. If someone doesn't want to talk to
me, that is just fine.


I have two e-mail addresses (that I use on Usenet - I have several more
besides those, but do not use them on Usenet). I rotate them. I have
done so since 2007 and I have done so throughout this thread from the
start. Anyone with at least half brain to work with should have been
able to see that. It has to do with a major illness and the fact that I
thought I was going to lose the mindspring address and the use of
Giganews as my NSP (due to loss of income caused by the major illness -
I did, in fact, end up having to put my Giganews account on suspension
for three months). You can look it up if you want on GoogleGroups (look
in rec.sport.football.college and rec.arts.sf.fandom).

It is widely understood to mean kill filtering A poster when not
accompanied by any modifiers.

Of course, one of the more amusing types of responders is the one who
puts someone in their kill filter and then responds to the "killed"
poster when other posters quote the "killed" poster.

BTW, the season is over. It's about the hoops now. You can go lay down until

I attribute that to newbiness: They know not of what they speak,

times by posters that didn't really plonk me... but I don't feel the
need to bring it up either - probably because I don't care one way or
the other.


Until you can figure out how to keep killed posters out of every bit
of usenet communication, you're still going to see it happen.
Consider it a cheap laugh.
