I don't killfile merely for posting from Gmail or Google Groups, but 
regarding your second point, it has seemed to me for some years now that 
Gmail is the new Hotmail, which was the new AOL. Whenever there is an 
inane, lazy, mind-numbingly stupid question or post, chances are 
extremely high that the sender has a Gmail address.
