Just a word to the wise. Trashing a title works on words containing the trash term, not just the whole word.

I used a three letter word in my trash list, and it matched a longer word containing it.

Haven't seen this until today.

I THINK!!!

Gone from the list!

thread here vanish, till I restored that word.

I never trash threads anyway, but it's good to know that trashing one word can inadvertently trash others.

Like "Where the heck is my thread?"

I looked for words to trash in "Silicon Valley insiders are trying to unseat Biden with help of AI" and found none.

Looking through the list, I found "Sea". Well, there it was.

Being a long-time Unix person, that's a subset match (as in grep)
