Oh come on! I knew what a killfile was about 3 days after I got my first Unix account back in 1990.

And it actually wasn't email, but Usenet using tin.

I was simply saying that being a computer scientist does not immediately imply that you know what a killfile is. I know quite a few eminent computer scientists (academics) who probably do not know what a killfile is.
On the other hand, I would think in this case that Merkey has been killfiled so many times that in this case he's at least being deliberately obtuse, so it doesn't really matter.
