Kill filing doesn't let people know that their messages are undesired.
Phil, are you 100% sure about that?
How will someone know how others care without feedback?

Email. Otherwise you're adding yet more noise.

I'm wondering if Phil is being deliberately obtuse, or is just kinda
dense at times.

But ... he's been plonked. If he replies to a plonk, it's definitely
the latter, and if he hasn't figured out yet that killfiling very much
*does* send a message, he's never gonna get it.

No big loss either way.
