Dave, I understand. Money and time is an issue, and I even wrote that in my thread asking for suggestions on how to improve the quality of the discussion forum. I mentioned that some things may not be practical and asked for cheap/free suggestions.

At any rate, you make some good points. I would only add that because it's true that membership doesn't have anything to do with the forum, donations are accepted. If someone donates to improve the forum, there is a text box where they can explain why they're donating, so they should use it.

Finally, as I said to Zippy before...

If someone's goal is to have a good discussion and debate and we disagree with them (even strongly) it should be 100% ok. 

But if someone's goal is to (consistently) annoy, inflame disrupt or spam, it's 100% not ok. They should get a warning and then the boot.

That's my take anyway. And I'm glad you responded in this thread BTW, I appreciate it.

Please note that I didn't just fall back on the excuses of lack of money and time. I also mentioned expertise.  Money by itself can't bring all the features or modifications that somebody might request.

I'm good.

I can piss off lefties and righties just by asking them to look in the mirror.

I'm not pissed. Mildly annoyed yes, but pissed? Nah.

So congratulations, you're good at annoying a variety of people.

:)
