Program to isolate posts of given poster

When reading "the well" posts or "ask me all about x" posts I would like to only read posts by original poster (as those are the most relevant/interesting) instead of going through 10's or sometimes 100's of pages.
Is there any program/software which extract all posts from given poster in given thread and put them in text file or something so one could read them as continuous text ?
That would be really great I appreciate any help

The easiest way to do this imo is to read the thread, 100 posts/page of course, and using firefox CTRL+F find or whatever browser, search for the interesting posters number of posts. then pressing F3 (find again) will jump you to their next response, usually.
e.g. enter in the search box:
Just copy/paste it from their OP. This way you don't get all the hits from other users posts prefacing their questions/responses with the name of the poster, which spoils the "Find in page" searching by username.
I wish I could remember the original 2p2er to post this to give them credit, it isn't my idea but it works a treat for well / ask me anything about xyz threads
e.g. enter in the search box:
Code:
Posts: 12,345
