Unsubscribing is rather rash... Here is a quick rn reminder to those who
bitch about people cluttering news groups...

GLOBAL KILL FILE:
At the news group selection level, type ^K.  Add the line

/mading/a:j

This will KILL any article in ANY NEWS GROUP that you read that has the
word `mading' in it.  POOF: no more eric anywhere.

LOCAL KILL FILE:
At the article selection level, type ^K.  Add the line...

/mading/a:j

------
The suggestion for the global kill file is a wee bit drastic (and
possibly slow) because it will cause rn to search the entire article for
the pattern specified.  You may want to cut the search down by searching
the header only `/mading/h:j'.  The rn documentation recommends that you
use local kill files.  

In summary - LETS ALL RTFM!!!
