Right now anybody can snip anybodies post in their replies, so I don't
understand your objection at all. Especially since what I proposed is an
automated process that is impartial. Likening it to "big brother" is completely
baffling to me.

Think about your first response to my original post. You first declare that it
is a bad idea without giving any explanation. Anybody would find that very
annoying.

Next you state an opinion on how the prior experiment was a bad experience when
it was obviously pretty benign. When this is pointed out to you, your solution
is to snip it completely out in your reply! Should I be more worried about you
than "big brother"?
