That's why threads get so messed up. Playing with some of those options folks won't crash your computer and help you manage what topics you want to read.
I commend you for making a place for former and current TM folks can hang out and discuss things. If you just limit it to TM subjects only then folks will have to look elsewhere for a place to discuss things like current events with people whom they share something in common. Let me state once again that the reason I started TM those many years ago was because Maharishi discussed topics of the day not topics of another Yuga like some of the other pop gurus of the 60's and 70's did. It seemed much more relevant to the times. Indians think that Americans are apathetic because we won't discuss politics or religion. Let's not be apathetic. Everything is connected.
