Happens to all of us.  Thats usually when I switch projects and
abandon the one I'm working on till it bugs to no end to return to it
because it doesn't do something I want.  I don't suggest this sort of
behaviour, of course...

Anyway, as long as people are suggesting new features for the TODO
list (unrelated to the topic really), I thought I'd throw in my two
cents:

  - It would be nice to be able to quickly reduce a subject or author
    permanently in a global score file.  The problem with the 'I' and
    'L' concepts is that they are local to a particular newsgroup.
    When I run across the 'cash fast now' type posts I want to bomb
    the guy from hell in my score files but in all my groups.  A quick
    'L S' or 'L A' doesn't work, as it only blocks the current group.
    It would be cool if it was possible to redirect the score to a
    (the) global score file instead?  It would probably require an
    extra question at the end of the regular 4 key sequence (last
    being temp/perm) for something like 'local/global' etc...

Maybe this is already possible and I'm an idiot?  Certainly wouldn't
be the first time...
