Yeah, Jon, but we eventually became friends, right? Oops, maybe the wrong insane woman...

If folks can filter out BS, maybe they can add to the filter? I know they can change it, but it may just be the thread titles that are filterable. The problem is that people who respond to stuff they don't like or think is wrong might very well be interested in actively looking for it. The folks who don't want to hear complaints about what they say or the way they say things may have more use for a filter.

I never filtered anyone out in newsgroups. I don't want folks censoring what I read, and I figured it wouldn't be good for me to censor it for myself. I figured I had better learn to deal with it, and eventually did. I went through the same thing here at Mudcat. You'd think I only would have had to learn that lesson once.
