but I'm going to try and turn out a silk purse anyway.
DNPs are clumsy, and IMHO ill-conceived. It reverses onus. I have long lobbied Bob for an ignore button, in place of this rule.
It makes more sense, to me, to put control in the hand of the viewer. I have "block sender" in any software that I use to view other boards. If it bugs me, I alter the setting, and nobody else has to blink an eye.
This other way is so counter-intuitive to me, that I just think it's bad. That's articulate Lar, reduced to three letter words.
G'nite all minus 1 (not meant to violate DNP).
