John, I remember a year or two ago on this thread a discussion with about a dozen or two Si members on how the Ignore feature, i think it was/became, was to be implemented. These folks were full of steam about this because it was needed action to their problems on how to address what they saw as posters un-adding to a thread. ok, But this thread maintenance discussion is only a concern to a very very few, maybe only me :o) and down the line, as in time wise and 20-20 hind sight, what Si Admin could-of should-of would-of done "knowing what we know now." so, I don't like it, but i do agree, now is not the time for Si to do anything except keep it head above the water line, and those like me making waves need to be reminded that the distance between Si's head and the water line is measured in nano stuff, not inches or feet.

Plus the Canada and USA stock symbols. a.k.a. the minimum doug
