Sigh. . .If all I wish to do is read, why log in? Or, log in for my PMs and then log out to read? The main problem with that is: I am able to read everyone.. so if I'm trying to ignore someone, too bad. I prefer to be a more active member of the community here... and, to me, that means to log in, be visible, accept PMs, read and post. Of course, I have my moments too, when I don't want any real contact BTW you don't have to be invisible to not have everyone know where you are on site: there are choices as to how you want to display, or not.
