Quit crying and practice some self-control....
Self-control, as in don't read threads that are entitled:
Linux_and_Mac_OS_X_Eat_Away_at_Windows,_Even_with_XP_SP3_and_Vista_SP1
and similar.
Of course, this 'clutter' you claim is self-induced, caused by you.
Why ? Well let's see. If noone is kf'd, I see the original post, with the
thread collapsed, and 99 posts under it. That's 100 posts in the thread,
but I only see 1 line.
Now let's say there are 3 people in that thread you don't have KF'd that
had replied to different parts of the thread. Now, you will see *3 lines*
of clutter that all look like orphaned post's each with the subject
starting out as RE:, instead of a single entry collapsed under the OP.
Now, for example, let's look at the thread entitled:
"MS might want to take their own advice"
In that thread, you have the following poster's, Mr. Arnold (3), Sinner
(4), Gordon (4), You (1), zachd (1), Charlie Tame (1), C.B. (1), and
CalBear '66 (1), that IMO, you would not already have KF'd.
POTENTIALLY, this could actually result in 16 individual entries in your
reader that is shown as the start of a thread. I know it doesn't because
some of these are responses to someone else in the above list. But, that
effectively breaks up the one original thread into 3 or 4 top-level
threads because of it.
So, the KF rules you have set up is the reason for the 'clutter'.
How to fix it ?........
1. Dump the K-File altogether and learn not to read the posts with such
titles.
2. Figure out how to make Agent kill entire threads, not just posts based
on poster name.
3. If Agent can't be configure for #2, switch to XNews, which can. (Or
find another client that can.)
The choice is yours, you can either choose one of the three above, or
continue to keep crying about 'feeding the trolls', and coming across as
a net-nanny, and general cry-baby.
