I too have chosen to ignore Stephen Jones' contributions to the
reflector. I presume that most of you have a handy function on your web
browser that allows you to filter posts from unwanted individuals. It
works quite well. Over the years that I have participated here, I have
learned who has substantive things to say and who does not (note, this
judgement is not based on whether or not I agree with the persons'
viewpoint).
I heartily recommend using your filter. That way each of you has a say as
to what you read and ignore and this decision is not left to Terry.
Cheers,
Steve
