If you ever need it, there's this wonderful tool on DU that you can utilize called an ignore list.

It's wonderful to utilized. Another DU'er recently commented that their ignore list is the size of the LA phone directory. I laughed out loud as my looks the same way.

Glad to have you here on DU, MIButterfly.
