How do you kill-file someone efficiently? I read that there
is a kill-file mechanism but it's slow, and that the efficient
way to do it is via scoring, but I couldn't find a description of
how to use scoring to kill someone (a usenet news author, e.g.).

They are 'L'ower 'a'uthor 's'ubstring 't'emporary (or 'p'ermenant), and
take immediate effect.
'I' is also useful to have the opposite effect, scoring someone up.

Thanks Daniel! But that resulted in the lucky person having a "Y"
annotation in the summary buffer, but still is listed. I want him to not
even be listed in the summary buffer at all.

I've set this in my .gnus:
; Scoring, don't show the lowest of the low:
(setq gnus-summary-expunge-below -9999)
And in my ~/News/all.SCORE I have (among other things):
(
("from"
("someone@stupid.example.com (I Don't Want To Read)" -10000 nil e)
)
That puts them completely out of eyesight. The people I don't want to
read but still want listed I just score -5000, for fun.
Best regards,
