After thinking long and hard about this... well, maybe not that long and hard, but enough to considering writing this post (gg)...
I vote "Yes" to an ignore option, for the following reasons:
1. It does nothing "new", in that it just automates something many of us already do manually
2. It is private, i.e. who you ignore is between you and SI
Ummm, wait... On second thought, I vote "No" for the following reason:
1. I envision a never-ending barrage of posts along the lines of "I'm serious, I'm going to ignore you if you don't shut up", followed by "Go ahead, I did give a #$%^ what you do." And eventually, "Hey everybody, I just ignored so and so, isn't this great! I urge everybody to ignore so and so!"
OK OK, I've finally made up my mind:
Everyone should go out and get a cable modem (like I have), so that it takes a split second to go from post to post. This way skipping over a post you don't want to read is a painless procedure. (gg)
