Epinephrine,

<The problem is that the signal and the noise can come from the same people and in that respect I think that the ignore feature can be somewhat of a cop out. Why are we here if we are all just going to put each other on ignore lists and not see each others posts. >

Very simple. We all make choices in life.

I choose not to follow or post at Yahoo (or any other site other than SI for that matter). I find SI acceptable because a lot of people pay for the membership and there are some decent set of guidelines for what members can and cannot do. Not perfect but better than others that I know of.

I like nice, civil threads but I do have a certain threshold of tolerance for trash and abuse. I especially am very tolerant of people with alternate view points (especially in the context of investing). However, there is a limit to anything - when I don't like what I see I use the tools SI provides me to help reduce my aggravation.

Whether you or anyone else chooses to ignore certain posters is completely upto the individual. I am just pointing out that there are options to being aggravated.

We are all very different. Cest la vie.

Chuck
