and that I can actually read 25 responses!

That makes this a good thread

I have a short ignore list but there are actually times when I see that there are supposed to be a couple dozen responses and I can only see a handful. That situation reminds me that Ignore is actually a good thing. I'm not missing out on a discussion but I am missing out on an epeen contest.

I've recently discovered the "trash" feature. I think it is even more useful than "ignore".
