Although the kill file approach doesn't work due to responses, one can
use email filters such as gmail's to filter not only on the from field
but on words that occur in the body of the message.
The increase in signal to noise ratio is a pleasure.
Oh, I almost forgot: For gmail, the action to take upon filter match is
delete. Others won't get rid of the noise.

With GMail, it is better to reduce noise by searching unvanted people and
keywords and mark them automatically as read. Then it is simple to to keep
inbox clean, but still the filtering is not final solution, but they can be
always unfiltered, if needed.
Brief instruction to filter noise:
1)
Actually 'includes the words' searches also the 'subject' and 'from'
fields in GMail (this is google's product after all). Therefore there
is only one filter (the latter) required if email addresses are
included in key words.

I tried that, but Gmail organizes things in conversations that includes
read messages in the
