Imagine someone you don't really care about. <snipped -- regretfully> Ok, that is a good explanation. It still does sound a little complex (since you have been the only "active" scorer to reply so far, it does not seem widely used). Interesting though, I have a *prime* candidate for a person on a particular list (I won't name list or person, but it's no-one on this list .. unless he lurks..) whose messages I usually crudely filter into a mailbox called "bollocks". Unfortunately he sometimes appears cc'ed or to'ed or whatever on a subject I want to hear about. Sounds like scoring might help.
Mmm. food for thought. -- Regards Cliff
