Once you use "L" to lower a thread's score, it doesn't "disappear" the thread. Instead it just marks it's score down and the thread appears italisized. The threads don't disappear until you hit "x" (expunge) or "q" to quit from reading a particular group. > When I use "L" where does the info get stored?

The main one is "SCORE.all" and the others are SCORE files for each particular group. Gnus consults score files while it loads groups and uses them to score and possibly sort the info for you to see. If you want to see a score file, use "V e." If you want to change score files, type "V c." -- Edward Dodge /Confabulation Consulting/
