I know that but he irritates me no end, to the point where I would like

He is killed as a primary poster now, but T-Bird won't filter on message
content.
This started when someone ragged on my method of manually 'importing' links.

Which was pretty much the wrong way of doing things...

You've been told numerous times, by numerous people, that T-Bird sucks
badly as a newsreader, n00b. Listen to the advice given to you by folks
who know much more about these things (like me), and you'll be much better
off.

Probably because your "method" was stupid, and wrong. Quite n00bish.

to work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences
