now all I have to do is killfile everybody on the list and then I won't have to read any posts that disagree with me!
Most people seldom resort to killfiling in order to avoid reading any posts that disagree with them, as I suspect you know perfectly well. Personally, I killfile those who consistently post off-topic material, those who insist on carrying on their personal quarrels on-list (I really have no interest in other people's name-calling contests and petty sniping), and those who can't be bothered to learn enough netiquette to post legibly (i.e., top-posting, failure to trim quotes, etc.) I receive a large number of email messages, and I don't have either the time or the inclination to wade through the ones which have a low signal-to-noise ratio. On the other hand, I often read with great interest posts from people who disagree with me, but who present their views in a civil and readable fashion; those are, in effect, what I'm here for. After all, I already know and understand *my* views, so I wouldn't gain much of interest by simply hearing those reiterated.
