Personally, I too enjoy these threads.  And when I find someone annoying
(not you, by the way) I just ignore them.  It's a modern world.  there
are these things called filters.  I use them to ignore people that annoy
me, rather than demanding they stop posting.

Like my momma says, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything
at all.

Keep posting.  If I don't wanna read / answer your posts, I won't.  If
I've got 5 free minutes, I will.  I suggest codeWarrier do the same.
