I don't bother with the ignore fuction either...don't like depriving myself of anyone's opinion, (no matter how stupid).
At another forum, there's one guy who has about 30 people on his list...and what's really stupid is that he copies it to a webpage, and puts a link in his .sig to let everyone know who he's ignoring. If that's not a classic example of, "hey look at me", I don't know what is.
