9. Well thank you, but you didn't have to do it for me...

It just looked snarky, or rude, to the OP. As a long time member, it *appears* that you read a lot more than you post, but I could be wrong. Maybe you are really busy in real life and don't have much time to get on here. I *read* every day, sometimes for hours on end, but don't always comment, either. If I did, I would have a post count like some others with 50,000, 60,000 and over 100,000 posts.

Sorry if I came across as an asshole, but I just figure that most long-time members *know* about the ones who brag about having a LOT of people on ignore. If memory serves me correctly there were two posters, one bragging about having over 100 people on ignore, the other over 200! I can't imagine living in a bubble like that, not being able to handle opinions that differ from mine and being unwilling to read or debate them. I *know* several people have ME on ignore. Does it bother me?? Not in the least! I certainly don't lose sleep over someone on an anonymous message board, who I have never met and probably never will, ignoring me.

I only speak up like I did because of the fact that we have posters here like that, and not everyone sees a post from one person, but there's a chance that they may see it from a different one.

Again. I apologize if I came across as an asshole, and I genuinely thank you for editing your reply. It shows true character in you.

Peace,

Ghost
