About Kill filing skybuck by Charlie Hoffpauir
I kill filed Skybuck long ago. But with my newsreader, his posts still show if someone replys to his post..... so I don't see his post, but do see the reply, so I keep getting his nonsense. Am I doing the kill file wrong, or is this the way it's supposed to work? For what it's worth, I'm using...

The benefits of autism, what is autism ? by skybuck2000
