When threads having no connection to Pat or his hobby horse are invaded by
replies to killfiled posts others stop posting/reading.

Spot on.

Threads which might be of interest remain unread because sorting the gems from
the dross is too time consuming.

And there you have it in one.

Threads with more than a few replies to gardner are killfiled because
frankly I can't be arsed.

Better if you who cannot restrain yourselves from arguing mindlessly
with an idiot in unrelated threads learn how to use your killfile.

I see we have failed:-(

Is there any way of *killing* on the attribution line?

Of course Turnpike can be used to break a thread but I have not bothered.

It would be interesting if Jill and Jim and Brian could try a sort of *Lenten* fast by not responding for a week or so. A sort of sanity test?
