Since the reincarnation of the Cellar, I have not used the ignore list. In the dialup days, I only had two people on my ignore list, and I think one of them was a bot, judging by the incoherent posts 'she' posted. At 56k, I had a lot less tolerance for noise.:eyebrow:

When i read "Elpsode" I say it "Episode" aka "Eplsode" (in my mind of course, as i do not sit at my pc reading aloud...it would scare the children)

reincarnation? what say ye about this?

Funny, I think of matador tableware.

You'd be close, actually. The word "Spode" is the name of a renowned British family of dinnerware makers. My attachment to it came from junior high school, wherein the word sounded like it would be something good to call someone who was behaving spastically or otherwise deviating from the "norm" (i.e., as a creative and odd replacement for "nerd", "doofus", "retard" or "dickhead"). There is even a caricature that accompanies it, but I won't post it here as it would probably shock some of you to see the resemblance to my photo.

Once I got online, I found that I had to add "El" to it to be able to use it as a username, believe it or not.

Do I win something?

Congratulations...you are the proud owner of a Spode Family tomb.

oi flint, just curious... if 4 people have you on ignore, how did they see this thread?

did you click the 4 to see who voted for it? two of you agers, and two people that voted both ways.

Well, technically there was the dialup period, the telnet period, and the current HTTP period. Technically, the telnet period was the first "Internet" Cellar, but the darned thing wasn't reliable.

The users who were on my ignore list did not follow the Cellar onto (into?) the Internet.

I'm only a part time ignorer of flint... wasn't an option for that however... :p

and your point? my point remains the same.

Thank you for the explanation.

and... "on to" ;)

Theres an ignore feature?

yes there is, watch this *puts skippy on ignore* click! :p

wow, i will miss her.
