Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[hiker]

marginnayan, I'm not suggesting that there be separate "ignore" and "filter" functions, since programatically they are identical, just that there are reasons to filter messages other than civility-related ones. This is really about semantics, but that can influence how people use it and how people post. In the thread I was describing a LTBH type put a daytrader on ignore just to cut down on messages. When the daytrader found out he took it personally and almost stopped posting until it was explained to him that it was not personal, just a difference in style. Calling it "filter" removes these negative connotations.

Having said all that I'm sure that some folks would like to put me on "ignore" oops I mean "filter" for such long messsages unrelated to trading. My apologies to all (if you're still even reading this!) :))
