Maybe blackspinner can write the code so you can put yourself on your foe list and
you won't have to see your posts. I always enjoy your posts..... no matter how much
I'm annoyed by them. It's really just when you get all nicey-nice that it really irks me.

I would never put anyone on my foe list....I might miss out on some juicy stuff.

This is the only forum I am a member of that you don't HAVE to register to post.

Some of my other forums actually have a waiting period before you can gain full access. (I think they check your ip address for porn surfing before they let you be a member.
Not sure though it that would "qualify" or "disqualify" a prospective member!!)

Thanks for the explanation, I have wondered about it too

I am probably annoying, but most people are. You will never, ever be liked by everyone so just be yourself secret agent girl

Now I'm worried I will wind up on a few ignored lists. Working as a sleep tech and being a CPAP user, I am sure I will annoy someone. Wait!! Isn't this what this forum is for? Read what you want, take the info you want, leave the rest! More power to you secret agent girl, and everyone else who posts!

I think your presence here is very valuable, montana user. I really appreciate that you can share your views and knowledge from the perspective of both a CPAP user and a sleep tech. But then, I even appreciate the posts by the DMEs. They keep things interesting....

I think you're delightful, Jaylee. And not the least bit annoying.

Let's face it, we all have our quirks. If I encounter someone here (or elsewhere) whose personality gets on my nerves, I use my mental "ignore" button and read on. I try to learn what I can from everyone. That's why I'm here -- to receive and give support. Just because someone doesn't act or think exactly the way I do doesn't make them wrong about everything. They can still have valid ideas, beneficial questions, and teach me something.

It is unfortunate that the not-so-anonymous poster felt the need to attack someone so personally. But we need to remember that everyone has a bad day now and then. You never know what may be going on in someone's life. People may have deeper problems, and sleep apnea can sometimes negatively affect people's brains and emotional stability too.

And I would think this could be a good place for singles to meet. You already have at least one thing in common -- sleep apnea.

I'm happily married myself, but for any single ladies who may be interested -- what part of the country do you live in, PST?

Yeah, where do you live, how old are you and how much money to you make?

Just teasing.

I am single though, and totally green with envy at all of the posters who are all happy and stuff

Funny you should mention that, DreamOn. It was a topic of conversation in the chatroom very recently. Got me thinking.

So yes, PST, where are you?
