>>Can you provide me with a copy of the post where SI stated they planned a filtering system for SI?

He [Brad] has never stated that to my knowledge. He has stated a reluctance to materially alter the inherent "continuity" of the site, with good cause from my point of view. It is not simply a case of excluding one person's messages; by doing so a reader may interpret other non-filtered messages out of context, possibly resulting in the filtering user posting repetitious or out of context messages, thus inadvertently becoming a nuisance themselves.

The current functionality has sufficed for 4.5 million messages, proving that is can and does work. Any material change to that model deserves extensive consideration prior to implementation in order to avoid opening a Pandora's box.
