@Rockhead,

to do it while openly waving ones ignore list is just silly.
But Rocky--do you not know how many silly people there are in this world. We have a vastly expensive educational system in order to render people silly. And the longer you are exposed to it the sillier you get.
It doesn't always function properly as you and I know but nevertheless it is, on the whole, pretty effective.
So you shouldn't be surprised at the little excresence of silliness to which you draw attention to. It's pretty harmless and if the silliest people can be confined to such a silliness, it is, I would have said, a plus. And A2K, by providing a silliness-sink, should be commended.
It's not as silly as taking a dog for a walk and that's not harmless if the letters in the paper about dogshit are anything to go by. I know somebody who took a boat out upon the bay and had to scrape a load of seafood out of the bowthrusters when he got back. One hopes he didn't skin his freezing knuckles in the performance.
One is supposed to laugh and walk to the pub in the middle of the road.
And they allow us to talk behind their backs. One can say things about them which one's natural politeness would cause one to refrain from doing if one thought they were reading it. That's why they take sneaky peeks. Then it becomes silly city.
And, when they do peek, and somebody has made a snidey remark about them, they have to take it in silence because they can't admit they have taken you off Ignore because that would be a victory for you and that's out of the question.
Like one wouldn't want to say anything about something one had heard through a keyhole.
