what's funny is I very frequently will click back on a response and read the ignored poster anyway.. LOL!
So do I, but I think it's a smart practice. I doubt you read responses to meaningless posts by your un-ignored posters, and you don't read the drivel that's just between your ignored posters, nor posts by ignored posters that get no responses, so you get the occasional worthwhile post made by posters you ignore while skipping the vast bulk of what they post. And with most the garbage filtered out, you still get some varied perspectives.
