You make good points re who to mark as fav and who to ignore.
I have a few lessor known posters (and even some well known but contrarian/unpopular posters on my fav) cause it highlights them when I flick onto a new page and I find this handy for jumping straight into a discussion with someone whose style I am used to reading.
That said, I have not added anyone to my ignore list. I rather mental note my thoughts - I have been surprised in the past where someone who I previously thought posted garbage says something in language I can relate to.
People could have diff focus on diff stocks. With the right twist of focus they may just hit a chord where elsewhere one felt they missed the mark.
Aside, good to know you're still around, even if just in the wings for now.
