I agree..the only reason I think Brad is reluctant to change SI is because it would take a little work to accomplish the exclude
option. I don't think any rational person would think that having SI determin what we look at (by their censonship) is better than the freedom to decide ourselves.

To me it's like not wanting the option to program out channels on the TV remote control that don't interest you. I.E like being forced too see each channel when you push the arrow up. What mentality would want this??someone that doesn't trust their own judgement I guess.

I think one could have both--for those who enjoy the posts from the 3 stooges, the regular LGND thread would remain. For those who would like to participate in a thread free of their drivel, a by invitation thread would do very nicely, IMO.

I have participated in a private thread out of the INTC board on AOL. Interestingly it died of its own weight in 3-4 months. I vote no from experience.
