How about an option to delete all messages by name? That would be way easier I think.

When I ran GT Power software, there was a utility called Spotkill. The
Sysop could kill messages by sender, receiver, or subject, during nightly maintenance.

Also, unlike the FTN message networks, GT Power's system of Echomail was
far superior. The moderator or system of the "sponsored echo" would have
all echomail routed to the sponsoring system, or where the moderator or
Sysop was FIRST. If the message didn't pass muster, as it were, it was
deleted. Otherwise, it would be permitted to echo out through the entire network. Sadly, there isn't much of a GT Power Network left, and I believe
that Mike Powell is the only one running it, doing so under OS/2.

With FTN Networks, numerous systems can see "violative messages" before
the moderator does. While the moderator can issue warnings or feed cuts,
the violator ususally finds another BBS carrying the echo, and continues
the rants there. But, that penalizes all the other users who "play by the
rules of the echo".

There's never a can of RAID when you need one.

My favorite RAID commercial was one where the roach is
walking, and gets below the letters spelling out RAID.

Suddenly, a stop sign comes out from below the R, stopping
the roach in his tracks. He snarls, turns around, and starts
going the other way. Then, another stop sign comes out from
below the D. When each stop sign appears, a "ding" from a bell
sounds.

Now, you have the roach under the letters A and I of RAID,
and a STOP sign below the R and D of RAID. Suddely, the stop
signs swing back and forth wildly, with repeated bells...
mimicking the old wig-wag railroad crossing warning devices.
Then, a railroad track comes under the roach, and he's looking
about confused.

Then, you hear a whoosh, and see the letters and stop sign
blow up, as a "speeding train" passes through, and zaps the
roach. Never mind Wile E. Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons.
