  1. Mark their posts as read instead by creating rules that run automatically
    when you download new messages. When killfiling somebody their posts will
    pop up in replies without making any sense. If you mark them as read you
    won't have to read them and replies will make sense. However most of the
    time trolls reply to trolls so probably the whole thread will be marked as
    read 😉
    I just recently learned this in another group and it works really well.

    In Outlook Express
    - Mark a message from the person you're fed up with.
    - On the main menu above click Message / Create rule from Message
    - Continue to create a rule that marks all messages as read from this
    person.

    This will automatically mark all messages from the trolls as read and you
    wont have to bother with them, at the same time as the answers will make
    sense.

    On the next level you can use this rule to highlight a message, from a
    person
    you want to read, in a different color. This will make it real easy to
    browse
    through long threads and pick out the goodies, while ignoring the trolls.

    That's good advice Per. Only problem is that once you filter out the trolls,
    there are precious few goodies left.

    Yea I know 😉 In this group it's only my own posts that aren't marked as
    read ;(
    Kidding aside. There are some marked in highlighted colors. Those are the
    people that give interesting advice at least once in a while 😉 There are a
    few left, but a lot harder to find than when I first ran across this group
    about a year ago.

    Yes it's almost like a different group. (Good idea about the highlighting)

    I have all kinds of lamers killfiled and the things I care to read still
    make perfect sense.

    Why do you feel the need to tell other people how to read the group?
    What business is it of yours?

    This from a poster who is insistent on telling a fellow patron of MFW
    how her posts are incorrect and/or are not offered of the proper
    motivation.

    HEY MICA WHY DO *YOU* FEEL THE NEED TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE HOW OR WHY TO
    POST TO THE GROUP? WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF ~*YOURS*~!!!

    I wonder if all that screaming made it through her (more than likely
    pretend) killfile.

    If I do say so myself, I have a great imagination. Still, I typically
    steer clear of horror stories.

    She isn't man-hating, she's people-hating.

    Besides, ever since Lyle found true love I've realized that there's
    someone for everyone.
