Thats fine, but you do realise that by replying to Kenny, you've
forced me, and anyone else who killfiled him, to see his post, and
that doesn't damn well please /me.

Do you think it is reasonable, in an open forum, to expect others to avoid replying to anyone whom you have, for one reason or another, chosen to killfile? The point that Kenny McCormack, rather annoyingly, tries to make is sometimes valid: some of the participants in this ng take themselves a little too seriously. In any robust forum, a gadfly who occasionally punctures the pompous (call him a troll if you will) can serve a purpose. Usenet is community property. Telling me whom I may and may not reply to is not "constructive advice."
