I've created some views to list HB ideas in specific ways, and I've
added "fxu=" tags to help me skip over ideas posted by specific
users.
It would be nifty if I could find a way to block seeing their
annotations to others folks ideas as well.
And of course anyone who wants can "fxu=32149"
... won't hurt my
feelings.

Yes I would like to apply |

You'd like to be ignored, or to ignore me, or is there some
other special person in your life? |
|
| |
We very much doubt that [poc] has any actual human people in his life ... or even a "life" as most understand the term. |
|
| |
So, having a "special" person would imply that there is at least one other non-special person, which is statistically highly unlikely. |
|
| |
I find that even bad ideas frequently have an interesting annotation
stream, so I generally look at everything (although that "Days
Since..." idea has lost it's charm...). |
|
| |
Neutrinos_shadow, I agree - mostly - even the worst ideas and
their annotations can
be entertaining. But some folks just have a terrible signal to
noise ratio. I've filtered one blatherskite in particular from my
primary view - but I do skim theirs after I've read other stuff. |
|
| |
In any case, the idea here would be an option for those who
want to use it, nothing that would be imposed on anyone
against their wishes. |
|
| |
// even bad ideas frequently have an interesting annotation stream // |
|
| |
That's often because good ideas attract little more than expressions of approval, and suggestions for improvements. |
|
| |
Bad ideas can lead to all sorts of interesting discussions. It's often said that it's possible to learn more from mistakes than successes. |

Which reminds me... how's your estate-spanning Alexa
integration coming along? Learned anything useful? |

Mainly, that the technical issues pale into significance compared to the "human factors" ... |

Thanks for that, do you have any other profound insights to
share with the class? |
|
| |
Do you at least have some chewing gum, or mints to share? |
|
| |
That should of course have been "insignificance" ... |

Yes. "Cheese tastes pretty much the same coming up as going down, so it's a good thing to eat if you anticipate a bumpy flight". |
|
| |
The cheese thing is brilliant, did you come up with that
yourself? |
|
| |
Of course everything has qualifiers, quantity and fondue items eaten. |
|
| |
A nice puzzle/prank would be if all halfbalkers randomly used the "fxu=32149" exploit. Swiss cheese anyone? |
|
| |
Nah... As annoying as some can be, you gotta take the
good with the bad here in the Bakery. They keep ya
humble. It's not the Happy Cuddle Club. |

Well fxu you too is all I can say |
