Not sure Aug 16, 2011

I'm not sure how to check my filter list, but there are probably a dozen or so filtrees (or should I call them tea leaves?) on it. They are filtered because I think of them as tea leaves - Non-British readers should just think about what that rhymes with.

Just visit any question, and click on "dashboard" underneath the asker's name.

Askers who appear regularly are a bit of a pain.
It's fun to see a new Asker with an interesting question.

Thanks for the information about how to activate a filter.

IMO, the filtering feature would be more effective if the affected parties (filtrates) were informed that/why they're being filtered, by how many people, and maybe even by whom.
Most of the filtrates probably don't even realise they're doing anything wrong.



Especially the part where it says "even by whom".

Some people really take it hard at KudoZ, and if they find out that you have filtered him/her, s/he might take revenge on entering disagree(s) to your answer(s) JUST BECAUSE you filtered him/her and refuse to answer one's question.

There are some people who think and act out of our scope of common sense.

It was not Werner who said that.


I am very sorry that

1. I did not see that Werner Maurer did not correctly quote Samuel Murray, and

2. I therefore was not able to quote Werner Maurer correctly.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa!
