[alt.sources] rn macro for your favorite authors

gmp@rayssd.RAY.COM (Gregory M. Paris) (01/08/88)

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.)
