For those who have their patties in a bunch, it is NOT
possible to killfile using web tv. You are stuck having
to 'read' stuff you don't want to read. Requesting that
some it stops is not unreasonable.
Now, I get to killfile this thread. I'm lucky. So I
won't be reading the reply.

Ten bucks says you can't resist looking at the replies LOL!!!

I'm on webtv because it's easier than my PC or laptop when utilizing
newsgroups, and I avoid threads easily.

I can't read the whole list anymore because of energy and pain issues,
but it's easy to get to the ones you want to. As there are less than 5
people by my count, I don't think it's a big problem.  Kenny knows how
to do it, he taught me some tricks, and I've never seen him complain
about post contents.

Iif anyone is out there thinking they HAVE to read every post because
they're on webtv, e-mail me & I'll talk you through it!

Yep, Duckie, we on webtv do not have the luxury of kill filing or
blocking people.   We can't blind copy something to someone, We also
can't just mark all read and move on.  We don't necessarily have to read
all of the posts, but we can't get them unhighlighted as new messages
unless clicking on them individually---a real pain in the neck.   We
also don't have the luxury of being able to see full headers to report
the spammers and trouble causers. One nice thing about webtv, though, is
that we don't get viruses or worms or any of the other obnoxious stuff
that people send out to intentionally cause harm to others computers and
such!

I can never make up my mind to use WebTV or computer to access this
group.

Really the only thing I don't like about WebTV is the inability to
munge email addresses. I think it has a terrific newsreader.

Can't reply with quote included but if you want to include a quote,
there's always copy and paste. :)
