My system works very differently. slrn can set a watermark wherever you
like, but will show a thread on the highest-marking in that thread, but
if you enter it, it skips straight to the appropriate post, ignoring
anything negatively scored. It means that unless I go out of my way, I
do not read anything from the likes of Mr Quark, which is great. It can
also do the same thing based on various other headers, obviously
including subject and so on.
