Two ways of saying the same thing which I generally agree with.
On the other hand, having no ignore system may blatantly cause a lot of daft grief. So in that respect I completely understand the requirement to have one.
I guess we live with the system as it is. It seems to work for those that need it, and for those of us who don't need it, we're not missing much anyway.
Its quite ironic that I have the 2 people you quoted and yourself on ignore.
Ironic.
