I have been thinking for some time about how much easier this could be for John if a set of downloadable tools were available at first signup. One example would be a right click option on a thread to set preferences for how you wanted to be flagged or if you wanted to have the thread hidden from you so as not to be bothered. Another would be a "flag me when this FReeper posts" option when right clicking their name. These would greatly reduce the random looking around.

My guess is that these could be marketable products that John could sell as a separate business. All it would take is a link to a separate page. It would at least be a way for the Robinsons to profit by all this valuable work. Why not make it available as a general set of "Chat Room Tools"?

I still don't understand why a thread isn't loaded as a series of separate records into a temp file so that one only need append it. I guess that is a limitation of the browsers.

When people enter a thread and post on it, that generally means they have an interest in that topic. Use of the "all" feature under those circumstances is not only warranted, to many of us it's a great service.

I don't deny it can be abused. We're seeing some morons prove that right now. If they weren't doing so, this conversation wouldn't be taking place, because we'd have only been called back to a place we had interest in.

I think it's pretty obvious who not to respond to at this point. Give it a couple of days and this will be corrected.
