Not necessarily, Steve - some people plonk others by filtering their mail 
to a folder called "trash" or "crap-messages" or whatever, so they don't 
have to read them at the same time they read the rest of their messages.  
Then they go through the trash folder later on just to see if they threw out  anything
that they shouldn't have, see the messages by the people they 
killfiled, and reply to some of them.  They HAVE plonked the person, but 
they can still read and reply to the plonked messages if they choose.
...
IMO, this is a better way to killfile than redirecting everything to 
/dev/null, because if someone has a history of violently flaming whatever 
you say (like some people on this list who shall remain nameless), you don't  have to
read their flames at the same time with the rest of the mail, but  still have the option
of reading and replying to them later on if you so 
choose.
This is exactly how I have my twit filters set up. :)

I also have max # of messages & max # of days settings for my twit folder
so that messages that have stayed too long get automatically deleted.

I currently have 2 different folders set up 1 for twits and 1 for anonymous
posts. The twit folder is set to delete after 1 day while the anonymous posts are saved
for a week.
