Default A Modest Proposal. [That has nothing to do with eating the Irish]

While intrepidly exploring rec.food.drink.tea, Space Cowboy rolled
initiative and posted the following:

Surprisingly, I think we can both agree that the effectiveness of a
killfile rests on the software used, the knowledge of the user, and
the thoroughness of a scoring file.

Not really. If I wanted to block out all of your posts or any
responses, I can set my newsreader to do so.

Which actually proves nothing about the quality or content of your
posts.

The statement preceeding the question is unprovable, unless you can
specify exactly how many people have you killfiled and how many of
those people announced said "plonking".

Which is an obvious and petty ad hominem attack, and proves nothing.
