No. If you correct the double colon, this will have the effect of killing the 
single article that has that number on the server, and nothing else. To kill 
all replies to an article, use the References line.

Score: =-9999
References: <message-id-of-article>

Yes, if you correct the double colon. The ".*" does no harm but isn't needed.

Simple scoring using Subject, From or References is most easily done 
interactively using "k", which also allows you to edit the scorefile entry if 
you want to do something more complicated.
