Do you really need an IGNORE feature?
 

Aren't you capable of just ignoring on your own?

I mean, they are only words on a screen, and can't really hurt you.

That's right up there with "There's nothing wrong with spam, just delete it."

I'm capable of doing arithmetic on my own too, but I still use a computer.

even with a cashier...? I wish I had a blackberry to help me make sure I got the right change for a dollar... :D

They still make calculators too, Dev. You can get a good one for like $4.00. If you're worried about change for a dollar, a blackberry may be overkill.

I think your sarcasm detector may be malfunctioning... may want to check the batteries... :biggrinba

I know, I just wanted to acknowledge your post in some manner. It's early here.

you live on the same east coast as I do... that excuse ain't gonna fly... :cool:

Well it's still early. And my roommate woke me (accidently) when she got home from work at 5:00am. Should I start working or hope to nap for an hour?

:neutral:
I don't know... you're gonna do whatever it is you're gonna do anyway...

me... I'm off to a friends house... we're gonna do a little fishing behind his house... catch up later... :joint:

Nice, wish I were fishing today. Headed off to an appointment for business soon. Good luck out there. Come back with a good fish story.

Regarding spam vs. ignored posts...

Spam is rarely written specifically about me, and if it was it wouldn't be read by a number of on-line individuals that know me. Spam is generic, another good reason to block it.

Ignored messages on a message board that I play on COULD be about me. I'd rather have the option to read and ignore any post or thread that pops up.

The messages from the newbies are improving. But, in some ways they were worse than SPAM in that they were so attention whoring and content-free. I work at an intense software engineering job at a high-profile yet stealth early stage company. I like to take a quick break and cherry pick salient topics here. BS topics and Bumping are really annoying.

We support each other thru ups and downs of sigificant-other insanity, kids stuff, job situations, court appearances, jail time, 12 stepping, car buying, personal anxieties, and more.

I'm kind of allergic to CBOL, AFK, BRB, and so forth. I don't feel like I am talking to real people when they use chatspeak.

So, let's get into some real stuff. Dev_of_AG, when did you stop beating your wife? SteveBsjb, can I borrow your red dress? And flint, when are you going to tell them to "take this job and shove it"?

Well, my watch does run PalmOS, so I have Parens installed. That said, being able to count change is a good skill to have too.

Nice watch there Maggie... :) I seldom where a watch myself...
sometimes I tow a pocket watch along...
but mostly I rarely need to know the time...

just thought I'd give that tid bit of information...
to pass the time so ta speak... :p

On a related note, I was just given the option of getting a free blackberry at work. I chose to go ahead and get one. Mistake or not?
