This is a place for what will undoubtedly be some lively debate on the positives and negatives of allowing registered Silicon Investor users to "filter out" messages of other users. There are many issues, including free speech, thread continunity, arbitrary or unintended consequences, and last, but certainly not least, the desires of our hosts.
