Killfiles

Mar 07, 2017 15 Replies

Can anyone suggest a killfile syntax that will kill any posting where Streater is replying to Plowman, or vice versa?


I use this one on Thunderbird in another group not far from here, targeting the end of the references header line.

version="9" logging="no" name="Drop email2 Responses to email1" enabled="yes" type="20" action="Mark read" action="Ignore subthread" condition="AND (\"references\",ends with, snipped-for-privacy@domain1.com) AND (from,contains, snipped-for-privacy@domain2.com)"

In my case I drop the whole following sub-thread, so don't bother with the continuation of the slanging match.

Yes, it drops other future respondants. Well, there's the breaks.

Modify at will ...

Thanks, there's some food for thought in there.

I don't know much about regular expressions. Have you tried just ignoring what winds you up? Brian

Huge should really set up his own moderated news group so he can restrict access to his acolytes only.

But I'm not sure what it would be about and how strict he would be - after all, only about half his posts on here have got anything to do with DIY.

It's not easy when ye can see it ...

Just a matter of self discipline.

Some people are 'warm and fuzzy' (and can generally get on with everyone and understand / accept that we are all different) and then you have the 'cold and pricklies who don't and simply can't. ;-(

Being a 'warm a fuzzy' I'm not arrogant enough to use (or ever used) a killfile but fully understand why a 'cold and prickly' would. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

What an odd thing to say. I never had you marked down as an illiterate moron, merely politically deluded. Oh, well. Live and learn.

All I wanted to killfile was you and Streater flapping your guns about the EU, since it's as dull and predictable as f*ck.

Says the man with the jerking knee.

Well this is perfectly true, but now you and he are doing it about something else.

And Scott and he, too. And TNP and he, also. The list is endless.

PlowVagina has been killfiled since forever.

I only reply if someone else replies.

That's as may be, but you and he are as predictable as a Coronation Street plot and about as interesting.

Lots and lots want to be net police. As I said, if they only want to read things they agree with, set up their own group and populate it with their acolytes.

This is rather what Trump wants to do. So be exactly like him. You just know it makes sense.

Why are you telling *me* this?

Oh, do take your strawmen and jam them up your arse.
