How to kill a certain persons ramblings on the net? Assuming that you use rn, press Control-K to edit your KILL file and add line /^From:.*kiravuo/hj Where kiravuo marks that persons user ID that you want to kill from your postings. If there are a lot of people you dislike, add more lines. There are some other methods too. A solution exists also for gnus, send mail if interested. Since I feel that more bandwidth is used to flame people who waste bandwidth than those wasters themselves use, I believe that it is easier to ignore them. Anyway most of them are just out to get some attention. :-| -- Timo Kiravuo Helsinki University of Technology, Computing Center work: 90-451 4328, home: 90-676 076 kiravuo@hut.fi sorvi::kiravuo kiravuo%hut.fi@uunet.uu.net
