Gottfried,

Fascinating concept. This brings into question--just what is the computer-equivalent of being ignored in person?

>We send a blank message to the offender!

This is one option. But it seems to me that there must be a more efficient way to get the message across that one is being ignored. Just what that might be--I don't know. "Firing blanks", so to speak, has never been my style. <g>
