[LinuxUsers] Bill would give president emergency control of Internet

[Peter Manis]

Not that I am condoning the political talk, but just an FYI for people using
Gmail or GApps incase it happens again. You can mute a conversation and as
long as you are not in the to or cc line.  The conversation will stay hidden
until you unmute it (move to inbox).  If you turn on keyboard shortcuts this
can be accomplished by hitting the M key.  Future emails outside the thread
will continue to come in, it is based on the thread not the from user or
mailing list.
You can also search for muted threads by using is:muted in the search box

$50 bux says Dino puts a Juniper M120 in his house if this bill is put in
place :p
