redwoodaudio, one more thing you might want to try. There are people on this site with nothing to contribute other than an endless drive to post over and over again more and more evidence that they have nothing to contribute. Some are downright mean, others just way less funny than they think they are. The one thing they all have in common is they produce a huge amount of bilge we all must wade through to find what's worth reading.
What I have found seems to work pretty good, you find someone like that you make a list. So you don't forget. Because those of us with normal personalities, our natural instinct is to treat everyone as equals. So we need a list to remind ourselves. Then put them on permanent ignore. Do not respond to a single thing they post. They don't exist.
If you can think of a better answer I'm all ears. Saves a tremendous amount of time and frustration because the instant you see the name you know to not read any further. What's the point? They didn't write it for you anyway. They wrote it for themselves. So let them be to themselves. Eventually maybe they will learn to just move along.
Don't hold your breath. Don't waste it on them either. For an attenion seeker nothing worse than not getting any. Permanent ignore. That's the ticket.
