Uh. > Is this a google groups issue? This is a Usenet group, not a "google group". Google groups presents an interface to Usenet, but under the hood, this has nothing to do with Google. There is a forum which maintains a gateway to this, and I have no idea whose software is involved there. The obvious thing to do would be to use a newsreader and access the Usenet group directly, since newsreaders have killfiles. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.

What we need is a way to ignore all post s by a certain user.

Wow, if only every newsreader released since the mid-80s had done exactly that. Seriously, use Usenet for this stuff. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.

For ages I've been wanting to have a baysian filter that classifies entire email threads with "read" or "nuke" based on whether it finds it interesting. I'd want it to have extra weight associated to the people involved in the thread. Blacklist thunk, ilias, and trans and I'd be set.
