annap: Its not a drain, its a challenge. I have a BA in Philosophy, so I always ponder about the nature of this virtual community. I also am obviously interested in technology, so it is an interesting marriage of things. I can sit on top of my Mt. Olympus and wield my powers (programming) to make sure things run smoothly in my little universe. (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)

Been thinking about much of the controversy as of late, and have been thinking of technical aids to try to chill things out.

I got lucky here. I am mere hours away from a BS exclusion script. Check out http://www.mudcat.org/threadsnot.cfm?Title=BS and see the forum as normal, but with no BS threads showing. You can replace the BS with anything you want to filter out. I will be incorporating this into the normal forum soon.

Just like the SuperSearch, this crunches the computer more, so with each neat thing I add, the Mudcat gets a little slower and a little less reliable. Keep using the auction, buying our cd's and shopping at Amazon with this link: http://amazon.mudcat.org. Thanks all.
