Amen.
I just keep my mouse pointer on the "delete" button & when I lose interest
in a thread, don't even bother to read the posts - just delete them.  Some
threads I'm never interested in at all, but some people are, so what does it
matter?  I too enjoy a good pun (lifetime fan of Rocky & Bullwinkle) &
really liked the potato thing.

But how many times do you complain before you end up in everyone's kill
file?  At that point, is it even worth being part of the group?  I have to
be official all day, so I particularly enjoy puns.  I get bored to tears
with ultralights, KOHI, IBOC, eastern DX conditions, but its not my list so
I hit delete and create kill filters.
