I have only been able to kill what is already downloaded in
threads. Is that your experience?

Also, my experience is that I have only been able to create
filters based on posters if I open the miscreants' posts--which is
definitely suboptimal. (Then by clicking "message"-->create
filter...) Has T'bird improved on that since I switched to Seamonkey?
