That's a good point, kytrad/Jean. I'd proposed NM, for Non-Music, some years ago, but it never took off. I like your idea of news. Even though there isn't a prefix for it, we could just take it upon ourselves to put it at the beginning of any title for a thread of that nature. I don't like using the BS for some things, either.

Bagpuss, your intentions were good, please don't get discouraged. We have been through this many times and the ones who complain KNOW that Max provided a BS filter just so they wouldn't have to *wade* through any of what they consider "muck." If they fail to use it, that is their problem.

I do respect Sandy's request and I don't mind using a prefix to help busy people like him who are understanding and accepting.
