"It not a good way to get consensus, which is probably the reason David created this thread (as well as, of course, getting the traffic out of other places). " It was apparently a semi-serious agenda as seen through these posts: Message 3385893 Message 3385974 But is consensus often gathered by one who thinks the very subject is "Crap"? Even if this thread was devised as an inside joke, the smugness obscures a simple fact. Filter/Ignore/Squelch/Kill have direct analogies in the features of other message systems. (See that last sentence as repetition for emphasis) It's no wonder that no one tries to refute the argument. If I have made the point before, it was because there has been a serious (if laughable) distortion repeated here. For using a filter to choose one's reading material does not in any way inhibit freedom of speech. If it were true then we should unite in protest and demand an immediate worldwide recall of all the client software that has the feature. Regards, Michael PS Metaphors that pose as knowledgeable winks often confuse me. If the squeaky wheel gets changed, does the brown nose also get wiped? Often in use by people who own no FONAR!
