In case you have forgotten, katlaughing, I was part of the Mudcat when creativity was the coin of the realm. I remember when you got here.

I would have thought a person who is a writer would understand the creative process better. I am not sure where you draw yours from, but mine often comes out of discussion of events, witness of how people react, etc. I don't want to get into a big long discussion of this. It is already starting to drift.

If you will look at the thread title punctuation, you will note that you put an exclamation point on it. I think a writer understands that those marks lend context to me. You seem to indicate forcefully that you think we need this. I am indicating forcefully that we do not. There is no need for further division of the discussions. A pretty good argument can be made we didn't need the first one.

Jeri, I understood you perfectly. Apparently you didn't understand me. I don't have any problem with the "filter" concept you are suggesting. That would be fine, and leave it up to the individual. Were I a codewriter, I wouldn't bother because the same thing can be done by simply scanning the threads, but it sure wouldn't bother me to see it. I was responding to kat.
