Thank you to Jacques Jamain for his helpful excerpt, and I must agree
with Lane Lester's comment in his post.

I was hoping to be able to learn the answer to my real question for
myself
by studying some documentation, but perhaps it would be better to
simply
ask the question.

I wish to construct a SOUPER kill file that will allow me to kill all
posts to a given thread, EXCEPT those that are from a given person.

So, if A is a regular expression that matches the thread, and B is a
regular expression that matches the user, is it possible to construct
a kill file that matches A and not B, or, equivalently, not(not A or
B)?

If it is possible, an example would be most appreciated. A simple yes
or no answer, while somewhat informative, would be less appreciated.
