Could someone please explain to me what exactly a kill file is and how to use
one? I get the impression that it is a utility that screens a newsgroup's
postings, so that certain subjects can be avoided.

I believe that such a utility would go a long way toward reducing some of my
background noise...

of wussy sometimes... Residual wussiness, the kind of thing you can never really
leave behind...
