So as of August 3rd 2007 1300 hrs the following lines have entered
my
score file and I officially join Blinky's crusade:

[*]
Score: =-9999
Message-ID: googlegroups\.com

Just for the sake of my own score learning, isn't:

Score: =-9999 pointless? As a score of -9999 is the end anyway?
[snip]

No. Without the "=" slrn continues down the scorefile and could
match some other score rule that adds a positive score, and by
the end of the scorefile could result in a score higher that
-9999. The "=" means "stop checking scores here".
