Many years back I listened to "Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy Brothers for three days--about 60 times per day. Roger, I can't stand the fuckin' song anymore.

I suggest that by not choosing to listen to the song anymore - you have found the solution to that problem. One that you seem to have inflicted on yourself.

And that calling for the Bellamy Brothers the disband, not sing or record any more - might be thought a little disproportionate.

Just being able to express our views on this thread is a victory for common sense. It would not showing much common sense - having been subjected to so much for so long just to enable this - not to continue to try and discuss the issue.

And no poster is being forced to open this thread - are they?

I had thought that the the idea that none of us have any rights over what others choose to post had finally been accepted.

As had the reality that posting personal judgements is something - that if it must be done - is better undertaken privately. Rather than the thread being constantly refreshed by such judgements.

The most effective judgement that can be made of a post or thread - is to ignore it.

As to the suggestion that posts be limited to a certain number of words and the reference to our forum being 'Mudchat' - this is not a chat room but a discussion forum. Where it is what is said that is important - unlike a chat room which it is about who is saying it.

If anything - perhaps it is a minimum number of words that is required?
