Yes, VSoup only has one single global killthreshold. This might be
seen as a limitation, but on the other hand, one can specify the
kill-group with a regular expression. And this feature makes it
impossible to have group-killthresholds.
Imagine you have a killgroup 'os2' with a local killthreshold of '-5'
and another killgroup 'binaries' with a local killthreshold of '-1'.
How should VSoup decide, if it checks 'comp.os.os2.binaries'?

Correct.

Hmm, that's the place, where I cannot follow... What should '-1
subject: $' match? Should it
(1) match a subject line containing a '$' or
(2) should it match every subject line (i.e. every article)?
For case
(1) '-1 subject: $' is ok, for
(2) one could also use '-1 subject:' or other expressions which are
always evaluating to true (like: '-1 Lines: > 0').
