Ever notice how some people get on a roll and post a large number of articles in a row? Ever notice how the quality of article n+1 is less than that of article n? The following macro is for those authors and those times. Once added to the file pointed to by the RNMACRO environment variable, you can hit the "t" key when you're tired of a particular author. All articles by that person remaining in the newsgroup will be junked. The effect is not permanent, so you will still see articles from that author in the future. # tired: kill remaining articles by this author t /%t/h:j^J (Note that ^J is circumflex-J not control-J.) -- Greg Paris gmp@rayssd.ray.com {cbosgd,decuac,gatech,ihnp4,uiucdcs}!rayssd!gmp Is our geological destiny to be a thin black line in a cliff, which will tell some future eye, "This was when man lived... and died?"
