Lower articles or reponses to articles

[Bob Fry]

GNUS 1.90

I'd like to lower the count for articles or responses to articles from
certain authors.  I have some ability to modify elisp but writing this
function from scratch is beyond me, and I hope someone has done it
already and can share it.

In other words, in a given thread, if author fubar posts, I want to
lower their post; and if anybody responds to fubar's post, I want to
lower those responses too.  The latter would seem to require examining
the articles going up the thread to see if author fubar is the OP.  I
don't mind the delay in downloading and examining the extra articles.
