I've no idea who you're talking about, so my guess is that those posts
already aren't making the leap to the mailing list. The newsgroup
isn't under the same governance, so if you're reading netnews, you
have to manually killfile people.
<<<
"Excellent. What is a killfile?"
"Uh. It's a list of usernames/topics/news items etc that you wish the
news- reader to automatically skip so you don't have to wade through
rubbish"
"Uh No. Remember I said pertaining to Operations. A killfile is in fact
a file with a list of names of people you are going to have killed."
"Oh. Of course."
