turning off ebots never work, though it can't hurt to uncheck it. Just doesn't seem to work for me. however, if you click on the link to the friggin ebot you do get, you will get more of them. Dunno why but that's how it works. if you do not want to see anymore of the conversation, the easiest thing I find to do... is highlight the ebot response and hit the delete key without ever following the link to see what is here. Every time I have done that I have never gotten another ebot... as the software seems to be triggered by following the link again. I've tested it several times and it definitely appears to be the case. For example, there are three responses here from when I got my last ebot on this thread. I only got one ebot. I am sure I will get another ebot for the replies (if any) to my post. But guess what... I'm going to hit the delete key on that ebot and not read anymore of this thread, and enjoy no more ebots as I won't come look again at it. Do the same, don't complain. :)
