Hi Bob, re: poster toaster The idea has been bandied about more so than any other feature suggestion. It would be difficult to implement in a fair manner, though. A lot of "what ifs" come to mind&#151please allow me to suggest one: sometimes I read a post which has a really intrigueing message. Often, I wish to go back to the post which inspired such a reply, and sometimes it is from somebody I'd rather not read. i.e: Response 2: Well, actually poster 1 is right because this...and Poster 2 is right because this... Response 1: Company ABC just said (insert good specifics) Original post: This company just said (insert bad specifics) So programmatically, how do you filter Poster X out, but keep his messages in if you want them? Many posters are bad, but they're usually not bad 101% of the time. Programmaticaly how do you write: { if message=good then function.post.message; if poster=bad then function.do.not.post; if message=good \|and\| poster=bad then get.confused.break.computer; } Sometimes you just have to use that 'Next' button. (Not picking on you, btw, just looking at the enlarged picture) -MrB
