Well, I can't speak for R.H., but in my own case, my KILLfile entries
typically look like

	/toto/f:=:j

which displays the subject lines as it junks the articles.  Sometimes
I'll see one go by which interests me, so I'll go back and read it
anyway.

Similarly, people who've been plonked are often quoted in somebody
else's message, so I see it anyway.

And, in my case, Eudora displays each message in the status window as it's
bringing something down from the POP server, and again as it filters.

So it seems...

:-).

So, Toto, you're not in "Cansas" any more. It's called a "Trash" folder.

I used to have procmail shove messages from certain folks directly to
/dev/null, but then wondered a few days ago if I were missing
anything, so they ended up going to $MAILDIR/.in.garbage.  After
looking in there today, I'm glad to say that it's back to /dev/null,
with no regrets.

Of course, with the new moderated list, there shouldn't be too much
work for procmail, except for those folks who I personally feel aren't
worth reading...

Michael, please tell me and everyone else at cypherpunks just why it
is we should give a shit at all what your personal killfile habits
are, and whether we should give a shit about whether you think anyone
on this list is or isn't worth reading.

You and a thousand other clowns seem to think this is cool to do,
but you're actually pointing back at yourself with this kind of crap.

Stop acting so stupid, Michael.

                                 ^^^^^^
Michael is so stupid, he can't spell "Kansas". That's why he's a "cypher punk".

The jerks who describe in detail whom they killfile (like Hettiga) always lie.
Control freaks are really obsessed with the people they claim to "plonk",
and read everything their "enemies" write with great interest.

Now if this Michael is a queer, it reinforces the hypothesis:

Most problem people on Usenet are queer.

When the likes of J.D.Falk and Hettiga claim to have *plonked* one of their
many "enemies", it really means that they are obsessed with that person and
thoroughly read everything the "*plonked*" poster writes. Zero credibility.
