Description
There are certain folks on certian groups who cause endless threads that descend to arrays unfit for human eyes. It would be nice to set up a filter (that never expires) that says if you see a post from this user, mark as read and ignore everything below his posts.
As an example, wander over to alt.health.diabetes and find an article posted by "Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD". There will be nothing of any use beneath that thread. Killfiling Chung alone doesn't help as it only kills his drivel, not the endless drivel of those who post after him.
