I agree with Jay, an ignore function would be great. I challenge anyone to find one article on Inman that doesn't have a follow-on comment from Ralph M hawking his lame sites!

Gretzi, I don't sell. I'm one of the MLS staffers out there trying to make all the right decisions to keep my hard-working Realtor® members happy. I've not received one email about my MLS comments, but several about Arrested Development. In order to save any other fans the trouble of sending me an email, I hereby promise to rent "Arrested Development, Season 1" and give it a second chance! And thanks Darci, you're my hero!

Ron, TEMPO 5 aside, you're naive as to how much cheating really goes on. You and your friends may be ethical users, but many are not, and in this down market, unethical people will find unethical ways to save money -- password sharing is one of the easiest. In markets where these systems have been installed, membership has magically jumped by 10-15%. In your market, that's nearly 5,000 people! The MLS has to use the dues money it receives from members to purchase and maintain and support MLS systems. The more users, the more maintenance, support and bandwidth required. The illegal users getting a free ride cause an unnecessary strain on your resources that the rest of the honest members have to pay for. So maybe you spend an extra minute a day or maybe (gasp) two logging in with your fob, is it really that big of a hassle?
