Unfortunately, there aren't any other realistic alternatives. If I could
work out how to only killfile posts from GG that are a) a reply and b)
don't contain any quoted text, I'd do it. But since my newsreader has no
way of knowing whether a post has quoted text or not until I download
the entire post, and I only download the headers until I actually want
to read a post, I can't see that happening.

Well if you're posting from GG, you're in my killfile too, but because
you replied to one of my posts, you ascended back out again (only for
this post though). :-)

Bit late for schoolies week isn't it? ;-)
