Kill subthread is your friend...

Everyone has to start somewhere, and the wiki has plenty of space ;-)

(some of the most unlikely articles have proved to be the most popular)

Likewise uk.railway I don't have a massive interest in trains, not the type that don't burn coal anyway, but the knowledge of some of the people on there is absolutely staggering and often makes for some fascinating reading.

But you'd have to normalise the numbers, though, wouldn't you. Say by dividing the number of complaints by the number of votes Labour and the Tories got at the last General election.

I agree wholeheartedly. As they used to say, 'What's in a name ?'

John, I thought that unlike the the automatic 'kill author' filter 'kill subthread' was a manual operation that needed one to hit the 'i' key for each thread, rather than set up a rule?

In Thunderbird you can set a message filter to trigger on a specific poster for example, and just lop off their reply and any that descend from it without affecting your view of the rest of the thread. Not sure what Forte Agent does though.

The only slight problem with kill sub thread is that sometimes if you elect to show only watched threads with new messages, it may highlight a thread as having a new message, but then not show it to you since its in a killed part of it.

There's more than a few groups that would benefit from that one doing exactly what it says on the tin.
