0 Betty LaRue Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I want Jeff here. Maybe he can block detractors. That’s what I did once. Flip side, if one doesn’t want to see Jeff’s posts, they can do the same. Better than alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation. That would probably help avoid the feeding frenzy. Doing things in "real time" sounds like a good idea. Just providing outdated lists of subject needs tends not to work very well IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
