   There may be a misunderstanding here.   
      
   When I said "any article that contains", I meant a full-text search, not   
   just a header search.  So, as long as the string occurs anywhere in the   
   article - which it almost always does - the search would find it and kill   
   it.   
      
   Obviously, this all depends on your newsreader, but I know trn allows this   
   type of search/kill.   
      
   I meant to mention this (that I was talking about a full-text search) in my   
   previous post, but it slipped my mind when I hit "send".

      two emotional states: fear and rage. Evangelicals are seriously the   
      angriest and most vicious bunch of self-pitying, constantly-moaning   
      whinybutts I've ever encountered.
