Moderators/Joe...

An idea... Is there any way to easily disable avatars and signatures in a specific thread? I think it would increase the impact of the Wall of Rememberance thread to remove avatars and signatures. It would be the online equivalent of silence in a solemn place... I find them distracting from he impact of the mood of the posts in that thread. While I appreciate bouncing smiley faces and humorous signatures, to me, they don't belong in that thread.

As an alternative, how about a single message from a pseudo user name that members could PM information to so they are included... This could help to ensure the sanctity of the thread, and an order could also be imposed (chronological or alphabetical or lonitudinal).

Regardless f these potentials, I think everyone who posts in that thread should consider turnng off your signature for those posts (it is an option at the bottom of a reply page).
