    But he CAN see our posts if they are quoted by the one or two people who AREN'T on ignore.

    I remember in one of his threads he expressed frustration over having to sift through all the ignored posts that other users were quoting to get to the answers he wanted to see. It was so funny the way he worded it but I can't remember which thread it was. LOL

    If I owned a truck driving school, I would park one of my semi-trucks with a 53' dry van trailer directly behind the truck, then I would park my car about three feet behind the back bumper of the trailer. First, I would let all my students see that my car is parked three feet behind my trailer. Then I would have each of my students go sit in the driver's seat of the semi-truck and look in both of the side mirrors to see that they cannot see my car parked three feet behind the trailer. Then i would tell them it might also be a motorcycle parked behind the trailer. I would tell my students to imagine how badly they would hurt the motorcyclist if they backed over him.

    Are you going to tell your students when to breathe in and when to breathe out, too?
