>I disagree. The twit filter is not meant (my understanding anyway) to prevent a user from replying to a thread. If you employ a twit filter it shouldn't affect anyone else - in other words, you are filtering what you see, not what people are able to post or what others may view. It is a filter which only applies to you. It shouldn't prevent anyone from replying to a thread. It should only filter what you view.

Tracy, I disagree here. Putting someone on your twit filter list means that you don't like to interact with that person. In a COMMUNITY that implies that you will have to refrain from ANY conversation that the twitted person is part of. So, the code should be:
IF ANY participant of this thread is on the reader's twit list
   thisform.ButtonReply.enabled = .f.
ENDIF

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
