>> I keep on adding to my ignore list, which helps. Added a new one today.

Hmmm...I noticed my "Ignored by" count went up by one today...are you sure you did not mistake me with Hawk?

For many years, I only put people with foul mouth on ignore. The list capped at about 3. About a year ago I started to put frequent one-liner-clowns on ignore too. Then a few weeks ago I caught myself putting someone on ignore who was neither of the two by imo had no significant contribution. I realized that I would not have put the same "idiot" on ignore if he'd been my kind of idiot <g> so I took him off and re-evaluated my ignore list. I don't want to create a reading list that mostly confirms my own world view.

>> But now it's taking measurable time to click past "Ignored message".

I have no idea what you are talking about here. People who are on my ignore list do not even show up in my mailbox if they post to me. As I look at the posts, I do not see the "Ignored message" you are talking about. Sometimes I notice there is an ignored post somewhere because I see a jump in post counts, but that is about it.

PS research shows brain of people with high IQ matures earlier (faster?) than the rest...more food for your thoughts on education and evolution.
