...since there WAS no such filtering system on EzShite.

Here, we (uh, Scott) *could*, OTOH, add a bunch of check-boxes to the User Pref page. Like, "No, I don't want to see any jokes or trolls, but I feel like reading some flames today..."

Significant diff, IMO.

(Oh BTW, my categories suck, I know. For one thing, the thing about a troll is, you aren't supposed to know it *is* one. (OTOH, they could be "stealth" -- marked by no other icon than possibly an LRPD for "new". (Not that any of the categories need be marked by a category icon; they could just be there, or not, depending on your filter settings. (But my categories probably suck anyway. (Is anybode else beginning to wonder how many sets of parentheses I can nest inside each other? :-)))))
