Handy shortcut.....
 

It appears that off topic posting is accelerating, again.

Here's a tip..... if you use Agent as a newsreader, merely position
the cursor anywhere on the offending thread and hit an "I".

This "I"gnore feature allows you the luxury of not having to even see
messages you know you won't be interested in.

We need a feature that will delete the offending perpatrator, delete
with extreme prejudice...

Right. But version matters. Only the latest, v4.2, uses the "i" key to
"ignore subthread", which afaic, is worth its weight in gold.
Anyone who hasn't upgraded from v3.3 or earlier should do so post
haste. And "ignore subthread" is only one of several new features
worth the $15 upgrade.
