    What windows newsreaders, if any, allow one to only kill posts

    I don't mean killing threads or sub threads. That kills good
    posters too.

    Huh?

    Killing a reply to a troll kills good posters too.

    If you want to kill replies to trolls, you kill the thread branch
    (subthread). Killing a thread branch is the most useful filter I
    know of. Xnews does it, apparently so does Agent 4.0 and higher.

    I just realized how old that post is. Difficult to see through the
    Google Groups spam forest.
