Kevin and Bill - RE: Ignore feature All you goota do it click on a persons name and view their personal profile. From there, you should be able to see where you can choose Ignore person, or something like that. Once you click on the ignore link, you can read some info on it. Ignoring is very useful if there is a "useless" person you don't to read messages from.

Kevin: Re: Ignore feature. It's easiest to understand by just trying it. Click on a single posting, then click the "Ignore this Person" link at the bottom of the message (it won't take effect until you click another button). You can then get help about what the ignore function does and how to turn it on and off. I love it! The only bug so far is that posts from the "ignored" person still show up in your mailbox, and you have to delete them manually. I e-mailed SI about that one minor problem. Adam

Kevin, I tried it and there was a built in FAQ section. Still needs a feedback mechanism so the person ignored knows it privately so he need not waste time, and also get some kind of rebuke. Right now the only way to know is to be told by the one who is ignoring you, or take note of a lack of response to what you posted by the postee, others may comment? I think it may act to diminish the diversity of the community, since I rarely see someone who deserves to be ignored all the time. Bill
