Poet: Yes! Although I must comment <g> ... ...about all this BS about mechanical 'ignore' features on investing message board sites. I find the notion absurd. Why the need? Here's an example: Once it became obvious that the alias, "Bald Eagle," was a 'lost,' appears to me, sort of 'Right Winger' type, I simply stopped opening his posts. Because he's ignorant, from my POV. For me, it did not require mechanical mechanisms graciously provided by the media operators of SI ... as much as I appreciate the state-of-the-art technological innovations in which GNET/INSP chose to invest on behalf of their shareholders' 'best interests' ... by 'providing the ultimate user experience' to its customers .... yada, yada, yada ... Ignore features crack me up. It's like, "Oh, shit -- I NEED help from somebody else to protect my view of my own little life. Anything that is outside of my own little life experience 'module' threatens me. "I want SOMEBODY ELSE to be responsible for me." "Because I'm too scared to make my own way in life." Geez ... no wonder the Bush W dumbing down works with Republican America. People WANT to be stupid. <g> 'b-i-a' ###
