Quite often when faced with a large thread, I find myself wanting to read only the articles in it written by certain posters (ones prolific enough to post in other threads as well, threads that I don't want to read at the moment). Is there any efficient way to do this? So far the best way I have found is to do '/Author/Hfrom:+', then narrow the view to only selected threads with E, then manually unselect everything but the relevant thread (which is tedious and possibly error-prone if there's a lot of threads the person has posted in). Also tried: - select thread - ::M to vanish everything else - unselect thread - select specific authors, read - Y to get all the other articles back ... except that they come back selected, and I haven't found a good way of unselecting them all again save leaving and reentering the newsgroup (at which point the 'Y' becomes surplus). Any ideas? Many thanks in advance. - cks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
