Linda, I agree with you, which is why I requested a "Skip List" feature in the first place.

As for Kill Keys, I like them as long as they're optional. Individuals can censor for themselves and not for others.

I offerred the "counter" concept as an alternative because so many people expressed the opinion that my skipping certain individuals' posts would disrupt the thread. I still can't quite grasp why they care if I ignore a particular poster.

The second reason I requested the feature is because I think it would be an easily installed feature: Add a checkbox next to a person's name in the bookmarks where, when checked, the "Next" button causes a skip to the next entry (recursively) until hitting the top of list or a name not "skipped". I envision this working only with the "Next" feature.
