Over on one of my UseNet groups, one of the posters wants to become

So Poster A will post about anything with the slightest connection to
that group (Actors Birthdays, Deaths, Anniversary, etc) which usually
then draws a post from Poster B telling Poster A to stop Spamming the
group.
I'm sure I have previously pressed 'K' in my SM 2.49.5 to Killfile
such threads ... but they keep coming back or, at least, I think they
are coming back next Birthday, Death Anniversary, whatever.
Where is the Killfile stasis of the threads in a UseNet group stored??
Or am I wrong in my impression that when I press 'K' on a thread that
thread should disappear from my sight forever .... or at least until I
take some remedial action to make a thread come alive again??
Correction to my previous post.
You get it back by using View > Threads > Ignored Threads.
Thanks for responding Walt.
As I was drifting off to sleep last night (Why oh Why does it always
occur then??), I was thinking "Does 'Killfile' really permanently Kill a
thread) ... or does it just 'Mark as Read' (Marking everything CURRENTLY
on the thread as Read!) and the next time someone posts to that thread,
the thread springs back to 'life'/'view-ability'??"
Then I started thinking "Perhaps if I set up a 'Message Filter' to mark
the thread as read, would that work??
But then I thought "If I have to do this for, say, 50 threads per day,
would I achieve something useful ... Or, after a while, would there be
sooooo many filters in place that SeaMonkey would start to act like it
is working its way through treacle??"
Then, eventually, I fell asleep!! ;-)
