Jim, don't give up! Kill files and kill filters, if your mail reader can
handle them, can be a wonderful thing. So wonderful, in fact, that at present
I seem to be blissfully unaware of even the existence of the conversations
you apparently are referring to. Life could be worse, I guess.

(For the record: I am using the e-mail side of Forte Agent as my mail client
for reading this list, and I've told it that control-K, by default, means to
just automatically delete all future messages that come from the same person
as the current message. I most often hit control-K when I see either
profanity/vulgarity or a personal attack. I do probably lose some worthwhile
posts by deleting -everything- from the person in the future, but I find the
trade-off to be worthwhile. I read epson-inkjet for pleasure, not for
flames.)

PS - In a big, fruitful list like this, it just ain't possible to give back
as much information as you receive.
