I don't mean any disrespect, but actually, this is one of the few cases where the ignore feature doesn't work. You can't just put everyone on your ignore list once they start reacting to your bait. It puts a damper on any pre-existing discussion. Even this response is proof of this, so I'll keep it brief.

Yes, a good many people may appreciate your "hints," but I for one prefer to focus on current development, not wild speculation based on someone's "I know something you don't know" mantra, especially in the middle of a reasonable discussion. So, do us a favor and post your "hints" in their own posts, so that you don't poison other threads, and so that those of us that don't find it amusing can just ignore the hint threads instead of adding everyone involved to our ignore lists.
