I typically exercise K-mail's delete-thread a lot, too. A mute-thread for
K-mail I'd love, so that incoming e-mail on a muted thread is automatically
deleted. Hmmm, I wonder....nope, ignore thread just marks incoming messages
in that thread as 'read' - I'd love a 'nuke thread' option that deleted
incoming messages in that thread.

This is good advice to a degree. Unfortunately, troll content creates signal
to noise problems in the archives; if someone searches the Fedora archives
for 'Java Solutions' the wrong procedures and ideas will be found.
Correcting incorrect factual information is a necessary thing.
Doing it without getting upset is more difficult.
Incidentally, love you .sig.
