Shouldn't that read "be gay and use ignore"? ;-)

Someone posts three or four times in a row on this message board? Wow, that's just outrageous.

Here, try this one!

Who goes out of their way to dummy up images to deceive folks because he hasn't got half a brain with which to engage in discussion?

If I were someone who used that kind of feature, I would likely have put Pirate on ignore right off the bat. Then I would have missed out on some real gems, because it took a while to get to know and appreciate her 'style.'



Why thank you. lmpo. I thought oh my gosh how rude, but you made up for it. lol.

Is there any method to learn if I am on any list of anybody?

I think you're delightful. Your writing reminds me of the email from one of my favorite nephews (he's on a mission in Ukraine).

By the way, I was in your bonny homeland for a few days this summer. It is as beautiful as I had expected, and I would move there in a millisecond just for the climate (I really hate the summer heat).

I am so excited about going to sleep tonight, I am wayyyy tired. Hehe.

Im gonna watch Camp Rock in bed. I have no idea what it is, but hey, maybe it will be worth while.

This poll has gone on for well over a week, and I feel safe to conclude that the votes are in:

Of those who use the "ignore" feature, the great majority enjoy it. Nobody has found it not to their liking.

Of those who don't use the "ignore" feature, the overwhelming majority haven't noticed much change since its inception, with others more or less evenly split between having a better vs. worse experience.

My disabling or continuation of the ignore feature was contingent on the results of this poll. Based on the results, the feature will remain active.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled programming.

I would never ignore you. You're too handsome to ignore. And so's your lion.
