What works better for me is to procmail things I don't wanna see off
to /dev/null. I used to take a reverse approach on lkml since there
was only a few people that I cared about what they were saying.

reverse the file and null entries and change other things appropriately,
and you should be all set.
Tossing the baby out with the bathwater is a bad idea in general, and just
comes off as childish in a case like this. Don't be that guy that takes
