Seeing as how *I* was not the person who initially responded to Erik, and how my message also advocated *exactly* what you are proposing (ignoring him), I don't understand at all what you're trying to say or why I am somehow the target of your indignation.
Regardless, I'll let this thread die now since you seem content to reject the olive branch I was trying to extend. Sorry you disagree with me, but given the long chain of events related to this (which you seem to be ignoring or are still not aware of), I can tell you with certainty that I would say the same thing again without hesitation.
