I'm in the habit of reading and considering all the posts on a thread before posting. This includes opinions not currently personally embraced, combative, and rambling. Others deserve that...to varying degrees. That's how we grow and learn ...considering. Or, is that not a primary goal...education...giving consideration? Are we primarily just talking at each other, opining to hear ourselves. If so, that's a waste of effort.

Since adding to my ignore list, which never had been a long list, I increasingly notice threads harder to follow disjointed with greater redundancy to the thread. Do others notice this?

I'm considering reducing that list to a minimum to avoid this and instead cede greater wt of applicability on an individual post basis rather than indibividual WB posters.
