I've been using Xnews as my newsreader a few months now, and it's
great, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to kill off a thread
so that responses are automatically killed too. I've got "hard kill" set,
so that deleted posts don't reappear when the headers reload, but how can I
prevent the responses to those posts from showing up?
Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch...

Thanks for the help... this is going to save a lot of wear and tear on my
'DELETE' button.

Maybe it's like Agent. Once you -save- one of the offending posts
and put the rest in that batch into the kill filter, it knows to
kill the rest on subsequent downloads.
