    LOL! I think the feature here that makes it harder to peek makes me stronger and less tempted, being a lazy bird of play that I am. ;~)

    I do get amused by some. Annoise knows that I have both of him on ignore. The only way I see his stuff is when someone who I don't have on ignore quotes him. Still...he often quotes me.

    For the myriad morons who have made it to my ignore list, I'm often surprised that they still quote me, given that I haven't responded to some of them in years.

    There was a board I used to be on, where you can hit a button in the post, and undo the ignore just to read that post. I might read an occasional post if we had that feature, but I'm not going through the hassle of removing someone from my ignore list, just to find that they're still a moron.

    Lol, valid point. But it's a hassle taking you off ignore every time I want to see a recipe you posted.

    Mr. Owl: Hey you two, get a nest!

    Lol, I like it. Though my wife would likely still balk. She doesn't like when they sound too close to the actual word. She gives me a hard time about "freakin'".

    you could just log out, but its simpler to just see if anyone quotes them......usually the most stupid or insane of their posts show up.....
