The problem will not go away, I think. The problem poster probably needs time to grow up and get distracted by life and AWAY from FT. I happen to like the suggestion to move towards a board with an ignore user feature. I like some things about the technical side of FT as it exists, but an enhanced bb would enhance the FT experience, as well. I also think a balance should be struck between a warm and fuzzy community and a thick skin, and it's not always easy to do. Also, what about subscriber access? Like, publish an FT password in each month's issue of Inside Flyer and change it each month to something new, so that only IF subscribers have access?
