True in some case, not in others. I'd prefer both -- that way I can
remove stuff I obviously don't want to see (like massive crossposts)
permanently, and I can still use scoring to temporarily remove (mark as
read) postings that I'm not interested in right now but MIGHT want to
reference later.

Well, you can also mark things as read, which makes things invisible as
long as you only view "unread" items in your normal course of reading. I
don't use it for manipulating sort order at all.
My attitude might be slightly different because diisk space to me is not
a problem (I have gigs of free space <g>).
