>>I have addressed the following proposed solution to all who have responded in this thread (Bill, there is a note for you at the end):
>>
>>I would like to see a Kill Thread feature for the UT. When responding to garabage threads like this, users will have the option to check a Kill Thread CheckBox. Before midnight, a process would fire which would determine if the majority of users (who responded) voted to have the thread killed. If so, the thread is dead - killed forever.

>>I feel so strongly about this that I am willing to provide 100% of the financing for the implimentation of this feature. If you are listening Michael, please email a brief proposal and your phone number. You may want to limit this feature to paying members - a good incentive.
