"So you see - your method doesn't work in practice. Perhaps my solution won't work, but we have to do something. It's getting to the point that you can't tell who's who." .... Fred C.

Fred; It's not so much as to "who is who" ... but what they say. If you need to read every single post that is made on this message board, why not simply ingore the contents of the posts that are offensive to you and move on?

As Greg has indicated several times now, there are probably as many post that have been deleted that we have never seen than the occassional one that has been left up for a short while before it could be deleted by Greg's chipboard posse of four. So there is something being done ... it's just that you don't see it happening.
