I agree. Certain members are coming dangerously close to that other place we used to frequent. Let's not go back there.

John, while I'll agree with you to a point on that; some members here are becoming increasingly frustrated with certain posters here; and their inability to:[*]Carry on a conversation, without mentioning certain eupharisms
[*]Posting endless lists of fruitless questions ("On the November 21, 1987 episode of Wheel of Fortune, what was the bonus puzzle result?")
[*]Lacking any realm whatsoever of common sense
[*]Lack of consideration for those who have passed on before us
[*]Crediting "friends" as a source for illegitimate news
[*]Not being able to place gameshows in the proper perspective. ("I can't believe they interrupted Card Sharks reruns in 1986 for the Challenger explosion! Damn CBS!")
[*]Avoid making certain refrences to members of the female gender
[*]Or, a combination of any items listed above.
[/list]That said; it remains hard to remain pleasant; when you have to read every post in a thread.  Pardon me if this sounds moderator-ish; while I'm not a moderator here; I do oversee operations of a popular game show "Palace"; and believe me; I have to deal with the same bull there that goes on here.

 Nobody is chaining you to your computer and making you read every post. Hell, I don't even read every THREAD here. I don't have time, and nobody else has, either.... except maybe for Zach.

If I may, I'd like to recall one of my favorite Ray Combs moments.

 Some of the hilarious moments I have on tape, surprisingly,
came from the time Ray was hosting "Family Challenge."
While the show was geared mainly for a younger audience,
I think it let Ray ad-lib a LOT more thus showing his personality. . .

1 - During one show, they had announced that the previous
night had been Ray's 39th birthday; and they encouraged the
audience to sing "Happy Birthday" to Ray. As the audience was
singing, Woody Frasier (and one of the other stage hands),
brought out a Birthday Cake for Ray. Of course it was artificial and
was used as a prop for the following contest. While the audience
was singing, Ray became quite embarrassed and said:
"stoppp... stop that you're embarrassing me!" Ray was so
embarrassed that he looked quite cute!

There were SO many of them!
Ray was a comedic genious, without a doubt!

True, Dave, but you still see them in passing. Particularly when a certain someone POSTS in damn near every thread. Which is why making these people effectively "disappear" from the board will make reading it more enjoyable for me. (And at the same time I have no doubt that I'll be disappearing from a few users boards, making it more enjoyable for them. Doesn't bother me, frankly.)

(The other feature I'd like, incidentally, would be the power to deny users the ability to see my posts on a per-user basis. That way, I don't have to see them, they don't see me, nobody replies to a blank wall, and we go our seperate ways.)

What I'm about to say may get me laughed out of the place....

There are a few people (including you) that I would never filter - when I refresh and see one of those people made the last post, I actually get a little excited - especially in a thread where there are not-so-intelligent contributions just waiting to be beat down (and subsequently are).
