And, in addition, we always have Mark Kent and Willy Boaster to explain
how killfiles work.
You must remember that Mark Kent once advocated EVERYONE from gmail
being killfiled .... This is how his kind of democracy works. He

Filters and score files are there for a reason - target them at the real
offenders : not entire communities.
