No, it's not a bandwidth issue. It's more an "I don't want to read or
even look at one more post by this blathering moron" issue. There are
individuals upon whom I am unwilling to waste even a single "click" of
the forefinger. Killfiles are one of the great things about usenet.
Seriously, who wouldn't like to be able to apply a "STFU" application to
certain individuals in other aspects of their lives.
