>If we're going to talk about eliminating features, I would start with the CC. I am perfectly capable of deciding what to read without people pushing at me their pearls of wisdom written to others. There are a couple of folks here (not you) who routinely CC me with their political posts just to irritate me.

Yes. You live on the left and I on the right and we both have no trouble putting our thoughts forward. That 's fantastic and I have no trouble jumping into a fight for our right to do just that. There is nothing like a good spirited exchange of values and ideas to search for the truth. Even though I lose many of these exchanges, I enjoy them, without animosity, thoroughly.
