OTish: Just wrote a Google Groups Killfile Script

For anyone that uses Google Groups to access rec.woodworking and would
like the ability to filter out specific users I've hacked together a
quick Greasemonkey script that allows you to block specific users'
posts. You'll need to be running Firefox, and have the Greasemonkey
extension installed. Here is the link

http://www.penney.org/ggKiller.html

It's real basic right now and if I have time I'll make it a little
nicer (like adding wild card searches and being able to remove people
from the list) but it seems to do the trick.

fixed.

place, and this isn't it.

Glad you like it, I have a tweaked version in development that lets you
see/delete who is on the kill list and I'll add regexp blocks to it
soon too.

Yes, browsing the thread still shows messages from the folks on the
killfile, that is the next piece and will be working in the next few
days.

Thanks, but it seems like it's a bit "lean" at present. Clicking on a
thread still shows messages from the kill-filed individuals.

Seems like a good start though.
