I agree, in part, with both of the replies prior to mine. I personally don’t like it, but we should be able to make the decision on our own to read or not to read. How about a compromise? If you keep getting multiple messages form one of these type companies using this site, you can delete them from your buddy list and then, if this is even an option available to us, tag them on your "ignore" list. I’m still fairly new to this site so I dont know if this is already implemented (sp?). Greg, your thoughts?
