Oh, sorry.  I get wrapped up in the vocabulary, being the geek that I
am.

A 'killfile' is actually a term I'm borrowing from news readers. 
It's essentially a 'filter.'  For most traditional UNIX news readers,
what you could do was hit a key so that all the posts in a certain
subject
or from a certain person would be marked as 'deleted' so you would
never see them.  If you wanted to do so permanently, the information for
the filter was kept in a 'killfile.'
