A kill file (also killfile, bozo bin or twit list) is a per-user file
used by some Usenet reading programs (originally Larry Wall's rn) to
discard summarily (without presenting for reading) articles matching
some particularly uninteresting (or unwanted) patterns of subject,
author, or other header lines.
Thus to add a person (or subject) to one's kill file is to arrange for
that person to be ignored by one's newsreader in the future. By
extension, it may be used for a decision to ignore the person or subject
in other media. Sometimes more than one kill file will be used. Some
newsreader programs also allow the user to specify a time period to keep
an author in the kill file.
Newer newsreader software like Gnus often provides a more advanced form
of filter known as a score file, which can use multiple rules to
determine which articles are shown.

|In Notes we would create a "Rule" to delete any with a particular
|subject

|
|No disrespect to Lukas but I suspect he's more of a linux dweeb and
|perhaps "kilfile" is a term popular with email programs popular in that
|environment. Then again, it might simply be something lost in
|translation.

|Just kilfile the entire thread, and you won't be bothered anymore.
|
|I, for one, am interested in the discussion.
