In another thread, someone asked about the ability to selectively block users.  While this forum software does not support it, it is possible:

This was a little experimental application that will killfile users.  It requires Firefox and greasemonkey (as referenced above).

wow...I havent really been around that much recently.  What on earth happened to cause this?

Greg,
 
This refers to a thread closed by our level-headed volunteer moderator, wherein some folks exchanged heated comments regarding Alembics in the studio. If you didn't catch it the first time, I wouldn't bother tracking it down, unless you would care to rehash the Fender P-Bass vs. Alembic Custom debate.

I am against any form of censorship. No one makes me read, or respond to anything.

Craig; they are not talking about blocking anything from you or from others, only blocking stuff so that they themselves don't see it on their own screens.  Like how I wish I could block the sports stories from my BBC News RSS feed; it would make it a lot easier to focus on the stories I want to see, and quicker to move through them all.  But everyone else can still see the sports headlines, and read or ignore if they want.

Craig, it isn't censorship for someone to create such a filter to apply to their own reading.  People are just talking about blocking things for themselves, not for anyone else.

Okay then, carry on.

Dave, you should be able to subscribe to specific feeds from the BBC news site, like Americas. Just open the section you're interested in, and start the feed from there.
 
The geographical feeds unfortunately do contain sports items ...

Adriaan; I'm subscribed to the World Frontpage, which I find thoroughly covers world events.

P-bass versus Alembic...
 
 
Thank you for the idea

Dave:

Bill, tgo

Bill; it's purely a matter of available time!!  (That and a complete lack of interest.)

I want to block my employers from knowing I am looking at this site. How can I do that?
 
Bored Bass Playing Fool

I can make my Alembic sound like a Fender.... but I can't make a Fender sound like an Alembic...

Sigh . . . Let's not start this again.
