Believe me, there are a few people here I would have twitted at one point or another if I'd really been in the mood to do so - and with my memory, I would have forgotten within about 15 minutes that I'd done so. And I would have missed some very interesting conversations if I had done so. Now, if you guys REALLY want a twit filter, I'm not going to get in the way - I'm just pointing out the downsides of it.

I can live with that, despite my opinion of that. The flow shall obv be altered -- and the inane as well as occasionally brilliant exchanges.. shall diminish. Maybe the ontological Proofs of obscure dbase locking algoriths Are.. the primary motivation for a critical mass of members (?) IF OTOH: the LOCKED appears to ALL; the A for Adult- erer/ess is rubbed in the face of every reader - permanantly emblazoned on the escutcheon of the {ugh} OFFENDER == For All Digital Time\ufffd(-stamp) ??? THEN I demur. In fact, if it comes to this, my personal view (the only view I am entitled to) will be that - zIWE has Failed. Never mind the dissection of fail and its ooodles of nuance. I would then be sorely likely to leave. With regret - there are so Many failures of civilization nowadays; what's One More? Still - regret is the word. Ashton Oh yes, did I mention? - Regret and Anger! at how peremptorially we so often knife the fragile baby, for our comfort and convenience.

Let each user modify/customize/sanitize their own display to their own content, so long as it doesn't affect the other users. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
