1. The best and only way you can be sure you're killing a file is to turn your machine off. Only then can you be sure it is dead.
wow, she knows about puns, cool.
2. If you must resort to using killfiles, (great marketer trick, make you use it again and again, and again, like a gun) kill "classes" of files, as opposed to individuals, you'll get better kill ratio. A good example is anon or wizvax users.
class of users are to vague and I fear I may kill something I want to read. I have never came toa a point where i knew all posts from such and site site or class of users was not worth my time, but I have run across dozens of individuals who I realized said nothing I wanted to waste a "d" or "n" keystroke on.
3. Note: Killfiles are a censor's best friend! And you'll become what you swore you wouldn't.
Bullshit, you sound like Doctress fuckin Nuetopia. Kill files are not censorship at all, do you pay attention to everythign that coems your way? Do you read every last scrap of paper people put in front of you? Do you go out and buy every fuckin perdiodical just in case there is an article in them you want, or are you intelligent enough to make judgemnets to conserve your time and sanity by not wasting your time on information resources you know will bring nothing too you. If I really wanted to censr or kill you Carol, and not simply avoid having to "d" thru a good thrity messages I don't want to read, you wouldn't be replying to this at all dear.
does your signature tell the truth nesta? Can't know everything with a killfile! Eventually you'll kill the file that'd get you sex.
So far your posts have told me nothing I didnt already know. Damn Carol, I was on your side until you started to REALLY SPAM. i want to know everything http://www.mcs.com/~nesta/home.html i want to be everywhere Nesta's Home Page i want to fuck everyone in the world & i want to do something that matters /-/ a s t e zine
