They were not people I had ideological differences with. Of the people I killfiled, one was posting things I found *very* inapropriate, another was posting things that I found *very* inflamatory (not remotely related to religion), and the last had sent me a rather cocky-sounding message saying that they had killfiled me and, after a while, I decided to respond in kind. Additionally, for the first two, the killfile was simply a seperate folder that I would still read occasionally. Only on the last, the response to the person who killfiled me, had I set to delete messages upon recipt. All of that is gone now though, as I stated before. I really haven't had a need for a killfile since I restored my computer. > Julia > > doesn't use killfiles, certainly not on mailing lists I would definately not killfile anyone on a list that I was moderating, that much is certain, but if someone is going far enough to get on my killfile, they probably won't stay long on a list that I am moderating (someone has to go pretty far to gain that distinction).
