Post #66,037 by tseliot 12/2/02 10:29:38 AM Reply	Keep It Simple, um... Sir? :P Twit filter seems to me to be the way to go, but only if 1) it's personally selected, not system-wide by admin, karma, or other, and 2) if I don't have to learn another "system" to use it. One switch. Off. On. Scott, if others consense that a more complex system is in order, may I recommend you build both? I know it's a touch more work but I believe a single per-user/per-user switch would be relatively quick. Then you could give us more complex options later. Just my 2 cents. Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation. BOfH, 2002 "Episode" 10

Cannot live w/ this shame OK I can handle 'thot' - it's just shorthand, but "consense" is outright Murican-only Biz-Talk, squarely aimed at dismantling of all Language for nefarious biz and politico purposes. It's a NOUN, that consensus thingie. As any tse would certainly know. (That's the rilly Important stuff, y'know). Er what were we talking about? - oh yeah: pests. Ashton
Post #66,171 by tseliot 12/2/02 3:10:41 PM Reply	Sorry, trying to enrich not dismantle I have been waxing poetic recently. Guess I'll go write a parser to strip my online speech of any attempt at variety, creativity, and fun. I'll leave that to people who make a living with their Art; it was presumptuous of me to step into their sacred arena.
