That's exactly why *I* didn't trim a thing. (didn't want to lose attributions)
I think "Dan" neads to read more closely.
Dan's answer seems to be directed to "Mama2EandJ", the OP, but it is in a
response to J.J.'s post (Gal Called J.J.) .
Maybe that's why J.J. had to change *HER* screen name, 'cuz people like "Dan"
still are gender-confused with the "J.J." name.

Such is life on Usenet. The kf and score files are very useful. OTOH,
sometimes the devil surfaces in me, and I like to goad the trolls. I know
I'm bad. I just can't help myself sometimes. I've tried to be good lately
and have not stirred the pot too much. I think the biggest irritant for me
is the crossposted threads unrelated to RFC. The good news is, I can kf all
crossposted threads. The bad news is, the thread name changes and I have
to do it all over again.

I only have 2 posters in my kf that will never expire. I kf all crossposted
threads. My score file eliminates nearly 100% of anonymous remailers,
political, religious, sports, money, porn, sales, adverts, etc. If a topic
escapes my kf and score file, and I think it will be around for a while, I
add it to my kf with an expiration date. I see very few posts I don't want.

Why the hostility? It was a very simple query, on a matter that
suprised me. Almost every newsreader I've used has killfile capability.

I use the Xnews newsreader. Xnews and some other newsreaders use "score
files" to perform specified functions on posts. Basically, each article
is assigned a score from -9999 to 9999. By default, an article has score
0 (no score, or neutral). Articles with score of -9999 or less are
killed.

Scoring is applied to content within a header; e.g., Subject, From,
Reference, Lines, etc.

For example, the following dialog in the score file will kill all subjects
containing either "Bin Laden" or "President"

Sco: -9999
Subject: Bin Laden|President

Other scoring numbers can be assigned which you can use for various
functions; e.g., following a specific topic instead of killing it.

Jim Lane. In a post that is no longer on my newserver, he stated that he
is leaving (once again) and never coming back because we allow some
