Bob, you have two boards here, the public (free) board and the private (subscriber) board.
We have only one kind of board here: Public.
There are two different kinds of users: Free and Subscriber.
Most of the rest of your post, in addition to really only repeating the same "need" over and over without providing a solid "why", was a diatribe against another member of the site. This kind of post is very specifically discussed in the iBox for this board and, in accordance with the guidelines I laid out about personal attacks, your post has been deleted.
Edit: Further, I'm very seriously considering putting a limited version of Filtering back in (3 filters for free members) and just enabling unlimited filtering until I get done writing the code to handle filter-limiting (I'm about 25% of the way through it).
You're not a very eloquent spokesman for the "Want Free Filtering" camp and your post arrived literally seconds before I was going to turn filtering back on, but just in time to make me stop and reconsider.
Still, I'm going to go ahead and re-enable it (the unlimited version) right now for the weekend while I mull it over and read more opinions on the matter.
