FWIW, I have a fairly large killfile that's built up over the years; but I don't killfile fellow DD. My two conditions for killfiling are: - I'm reasonably certain they'll never write anything that's worth my time reading it, and - they're impotent enough that I don't have to worry about the consequences of ignoring them Well, every DD can upload to the archive, so there can certainly be consequences from ignoring any of them completely. :) -- Steve Langasek % Has anyone noticed that since asuffield disappeared from list discussions, the quality of list discussions didn't change absolutely at all? -- Enrico Zini % Google is working on a version of Ubuntu, known internally as Goobuntu. wow are we all google developers, then? % My arguments weren't _wholly_ insults. -- Manoj Srivastava % Language war bad.
