Brad, I think an "ignore" option is well worth considering. The Prodigy bulletin boards have something called "exclude" which works well. When I type in a specific ID then I no longer see notes from that individual on my screen. Beyond that, I no longer see replies directed to that ID on my screen. On SI it gets annoying when someone comes to a thread and starts posting ridiculous, or inflammatory notes. Okay, I can ignore that and assume that if he's not given any encouragement he'll go away. But meanwhile about 500 defenders of the stock will post notes explaining why the original pest is ridiculous, or inflammatory. Sure I hit the "next" button, but on days when my computer is loadly slowly that's a real aggravation. I don't think it would be a good idea to block the number of notes one person can post in a day. Just because a person irritates me doesn't mean he's not a valuable contriubor in the opinion of someone else.
