Sorry if this is not in the "spirit" of the site, but over recent weeks I have got really annoyed by a couple of posters - particularly with vacuous bragging posts that have no merit to anyone but the poster themselves - hence I have lurked more than I have posted recently.

But joy of joys - in My controls on the left hand side under menu there is a wonderful feature...

"manage ignored users"

you can use this feature to ignore posts from those people you find annoying! hurrah!

BTW I am a Yorkshireman and was always told - only speak when you have something to offer - there's no need to fill silences just because you think "somebody" should be speaking - a piece of advice which I wish was more universally adopted.

Perhaps you will all add me to your ignored users now

I concur. I'm a Brummie'

But there's no button to "Ignore those who are ignoring me."

Or one to display who is ignoring who.

Hmm. If I'm ignored by enough people, do I have to leave the island.... er, Forum?

Mr. Brook will now have to ignore all of you, since you had nothing further to contribute that related directly to his original post.

I merely hope that I wasn't the one to upset people (but I suspect I am). I had previously avoided replying to this entry because either:

a) I'm the one being ignored, and my reply would be ignored anyway.

By putting in my opinion, I play into his "non-productive remarks" catagory.

Sorry to stick my nose in!
