Perhaps we should work on the definition of english words before we move on to the Greek then?
"Ignore" pretty much implies that you do't talk to people whne they talk to you. If you aren't talking to people who also aren't talking to you that wouldn't really be "ignoring" now would it? Are there 100,000 other folks on FR that you are "ignoring"?
And wasn't your "I'm ignoring you" post in response to SEVERAL pings by Dave to try to get you to respond to a simple (but embarassing) question? How does "I'm ignoring you" explain why you hadn't responded to pings if "Dave pinged me" explains why you respond without violating the "ignoring"?
You know... TULIP ain't the only thing you giys don't make much sense on.
