Yes I am aware of that. I actually use browse-kill-ring for maximum 
convenience with the kill-ring. But I think you misunderstood: I want 
only things on the kill-ring that I put there. I don't want things to 
end up on the kill ring which weren't supposed to go there, i.e. deleted 
items. So, the solution of using C-w for deleting (not killing) a region 
is suboptimal, since it pollutes my kill-ring. I press M-y which (with 
browse-kill-ring) pops up a nice selection window and I have to sift 
through all of these deleted items instead of my nice and clean 
collection of kills.
