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?

If that *is* reasonable, then it's reasonable to expect people to avoid
replying to me, since TTBOMKAB I have been killfiled by Mark McIntyre and
Richard Bos - both, in my obviously biased opinion, through a failure to
understand my intent (which, to be fair to them, presumably means I failed
to communicate my intent properly).

Usenet is community property. Telling me whom I may and may not
reply to is not "constructive advice."

Hear, hear.
