    Actually, for anyone who is proficient in javascript it should be a breeze to write a Greasemonkey script that will filter out letters by author. I'd do it myself, but it's been years since I wrote any javascript and it would take me a while to get back up to speed and I just don't have the time right now. But it should be simply a matter of collecting the letters into an array and then deleting those on your ignore list before writing the array to the page.
