Ah I see, I made an assumption and misunderstood, OK.

The particular topic exists in a newsgroup so infested with trolls
it's almost unreadable. I've killfiled several and scorefiled
bunches of others along with various topics to make the group
readable. None of those killfiled in that particular newsgroup
are GGers, as a matter of fact, the one I'm excepting is the only
GGer I know of in the group and I only saw his post because
someone else replied to it. Since it was something I could help
with, I went back, replied to him and then had to exempt him so I
could see his replies to me.

This is the very reason I flag googlegroup references, eg;

Score: -5000
References: googlegroups

Score: =-9999
Message-ID: googlegroups
~From: This person|That person|Another person|etc

Because the upscored -5000 on references flags any replies to a GG post
(1) it warns you that this a followup to GG post and (2) gives you the
oportunity to white-list Groupers in your -9999 googlegroups score.

Thereby (assuming you respond to your white listers) encouraging the use
of Google Groups.
