>>Twit filters may be okay in certain cases, but not in THIS forum. That's what I'm trying to make clear. This forum is for professional developers. Hypothetically, if I'd notice that one of my employees refuses to interact at all with another employee, I'd fire him. What this forum needs is an active moderator.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
