I'm not sure what you mean by "here", but there's no way to
avoid Howe (aka the PW). In general, the message to which
you're replying should be "active" in the software.

That's because you responded to his post - a very quick way to
get you killfiled along sidehim. Howe multi-posts to a wide
variety of unrelated groups to get a reaction. Since you can't
killfile in google, resist the temptation to click on one of his
posts, or any post great than 100 lines for that matter, because
that'll likely be him under a different name. My newsreader is
very flexible and allows me to killfile based upon the size of
the post.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to deleting individual
messages.

Next lesson: Top posting versus bottom posting. Look up those
terms and then we'll talk.

And thanks for using punctuation; even though smiley faces
aren't really punctuation, at least they break up a sentence.
