none of us liked the idea of an "ignore" feature because, among other things, it simply covers up problems instead of fixing them. Who are they kidding? It was really great this evening to come in, see 10 posts on Cisco, open them all at once, scroll though them, and then see 4 "ignore" posts listed at the end, from our thread moron, that I did not have to read. I have queried them about upgrading to this system, so that I would not have to pay for it, but they have "ignored" me!

OT- I think SI needs to do more than implement an ignore. Check out browsemaster.com to see how much time can be saved with some simple features implemented. I hate slogging (is that a word?) through these threads one post at a time. I'm using browsemaster on trial (its great) but am unhappy about having to pay 50 bucks for it later. SI should be providing this. Call me paranoid but maybe SI is making some coin from browsemaster. I don't see how browsemaster implemented this without some help from SI. They can pull all of the new posts for a bookmarked thread in the time it takes the usual SI interface to pull one. They can also pull all new posts from all your bookmarks in one shot. Seems SI would be supplying some new functionality to do this. Disclaimer: I am not aware of any agreement between browsemaster and SI - this is all hypothetical. Claude (rhymes with TOAD)

I guess that means they would like to be notified of annoying people so that they can ban them if they get too out of hand.
