....killfile.

I had a new computer built and transferred most of the data, *but*
Agent's killfiles didn't come with it. Dammit. Just about every
lunatic cross-poster cuts loose into RFC and my 2 year old killfile is
naked as a jaybird. OTOH, it'll be well worth it to spend the time to
manually kf each of these weasels. Heck, it might even be cathartic!

"If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as
old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
