I have lots on ignore, generally those who contribute very very little of content. Obnoxious ones get blocked. As for following, I follow numerous ET posters, the intelligent experienced types who mostly contribute meaningful stuff. When I wish to spend a lot of time on ET I'll search out those I follow to see what they're chatting about, most often it's interesting. This way, those on ignore are not wasting my time with their meaningless waffle.
When you do your own name it doesn't work! That's why I used yours instead of mine... it was just the first one where I was at... Assume you don't mind! I said they could 'follow' you if they wanted to
Ironically it would be incredibly beneficial for several users on the boards here to be able to ignore their own content.
I blocked @themickey for a time. Then I couldn't remember why I had blocked him so I took him off block. He must have remembered though because he then blocked me. I have no idea on what the over/under is on how long this will last before one of us blocks the other.
So.... my prediction for the next several hours will be up out of the gate, but we'll close lower by 4PM tomorrow. We may even gap up here in a few, followed by a large dip soon thereafter. You watch.
