And what subject would that be?  Your post imputed sinister motivation
to another poster without any semblance of evidence. Is that your area
of "expertise"?

Since you seem somewhat challenged in the imagination department, I
pointed out some conceivably  legitimate reasons for him to post
anonymously. I'm sure one could think of more. Again, follow your own
advice - I'm sure you could have thought of these possibilities
yourself if you'd made some effort.

Why  should I be knowledgeable about your news filtering capabilities?
And why should I stop reading something I find interesting because it
offends you?

If you can't killfile the offending stuff, just stop reading the
thread.

Duh!  Obviously a lot of people want to use it, and just as obviously,
a lot of them have concerns about it.  That's why this thread has
persisted.

No one is forcing YOU to read postings you don't want to!
