EM, click on the "Hide Ibox" next the the Telko name at the top of the page and all of the info goes away. As far as ignoring someone, it shouldn't turn back on, so maybe you hit a wrong key, either way, find a posters name click on it, and then click on the "Ignore this poster" link. Should do it.
Good investing!
