I was wondering the same thing. Then again, I see Joan replying to
your forger at times. I didnt think it was that hard to discern the
real you from Bruce's forging of you.

If you say so?

A kill file is for dummies.

No intelligent person hides the activity of their foe.

Besides, most kill file users are not smart enough (or not capable, like a
Google groups user) to ignore a thread branch, so they end up stumbling over
replies to the person in their kill file. The only thing a kill file does is
let a not quite grown up poster taunt other people about being kill filed.

Mutual blocking would be an entirely different matter. But, unfortunately,
that's not available.

The best and only really useful USENET filter is "ignore thread branch", to
ignore a thread or subthread with a single key.

They are not my foe. They are idiots that post crap. If I KF them I
don't have to wade through 100 nonsensical posts.

Exactly. And I don't have to see my own 'alter ego' posting things
that obviously I never said.

Only trolls care about killfiles.

Yeah. It must be driving Bruce crazy that non of the legitimate posters
bother to respond to him even when he is forging me. What a coincidence
that we now have a new one whining about kill files.

Hehe yeah, I saw that. Not sure if related to troll but any out of the
blue diatribe against killfiles is apt to be troll signature.

When I reply to David's forger I'm replying to Bruce even though he's too
childish to step from behind the curtain. It's almost as if he's taken on
John Kuthe's persona.
