I guess you could put people on ignore, but I tend to read everyone's posts. As I said, I don't do other forums, but from what I've heard, many are kind of nasty. While this forum is obviously, mainly about cycling, it is hard to not talk about other parts of our lives. And the best part of TE has been meeting so many of you in person, as well as when my DH says, "How did you know that?" and I answer, "I learned it from someone on TE."
