Wow - that was fast, Nate! Thanks!!!
what version of Firefox are you using? i'm running 3.6 and i still see LEB and what she wrote. will try an earlier version of FF in a few minutes on a different workstation.
so your script removes all LEB posts from a thread? Awesome :-)

Let's see, I have firefox 3.5.8 and it works for me, removes table rows of which LEB is the author.

Giving the people what they want:
Greasemonkey script:

Running on Firefox 3.5.2

It appears that Greasemonkey in general does not work with FF 3.6

Here's how I educated my clueless self:
http://userscripts.org/about/installing
Double-clicking the .js file didn't work; to get it to install I had to go to File > Open File and then navigate to the script...
So it seems that you could just add users to that same script, or would you need separate scripts for each pest?

Holy fricken awesome. To install first you need to install Greasemonkey, follow Hardman's link, then installing the script that Nate gave.

Damn!!! works now, with a browser downgrade. will have to try with other versions when i get off work.
Nate, if you want to PM me an email address, I'll Paypal you $50.
very nice to have this kind of control!
(edit):
of course, this will work to hide anyone - just edit the line in the script:
if (strHrefName == "http://www.supertopo.com/inc/view_profile.php?dcid=ODM8NTo8OCc,"
view_profile.php?dcid=ODM8NTo8OCc is LEB's "ID". look at the HTML sourcecode and substitute the id for whoever....

kunlun_shan or Nate - is it possible to add lines to the script (rather than editing) for multiple pests?

Yep you can add lines:
if (strHrefName == "http://www.supertopo.com/inc/view_profile.php?dcid=ODM8NTo8OCc,") {
arrAllTables[j-2].style.display = "none";
break;
}
if (strHrefName == "http://supertopo.com/inc/view_profile.php?dcid=ODM8NTo8OCc,") {
arrAllTables[j-2].style.display = "none";
break;
}
Put that block inside the innermost for loop for each user you want to block. Put the link to their profile instead of the URL that is there (note one has www and one does not).
I'll try to make it more user-configurable too...

Got it to work on FF 3.6. For some reason, clicking the download link after installing Greasemonkey does the trick.
I agree it's not a total solution, but it will help. If enough folks use it, it could gain critical mass and eliminate many of the responses as well. I'm optimistic.
Sometimes self-discipline needs a little help.
High praise for Nate!

Before I take anybody's money I'll see if I can't make it work on the main forum page and be easier to configure for multiple users...

It's a choice by each user whether to filter or not...how can that be considered "Big Brother"?

But, it's missing the bigger picture - the script only hides the posts from you, not from others, and it won't stop everyone else from replying to those posts.
This is exactly how it was using killfiles on Usenet; you'd still see the replies to the pest, but it was a small price to pay, all things considered...
