Even apart from the issue of whether the person is burying their financial heads in the sand (which they are) if they have 200 ignores, it seems to me that it is just ridiculous to allow it.
Nobody needs anywhere near 200 ignores! If you have that, you are posting on wayyy too many boards and worrying about wayyy too many things IMO. There is no way you could even keep track of who you have on ignore or why you put them there!
If it was me - and if it made even a fractional difference to performance - I would limit it to 30. Even that number seems large to me.
