The tubes are clogging! The tubes are clogging! ellisonz Dec 2011 #19

I'd take the opposite approach. The more the better, but offer a simplification. HopeHoops Dec 2011 #16

Wouldn't that be a little too... ellisonz Dec 2011 #18

There should be a "view all" option that overrides "ignore group". HopeHoops Dec 2011 #20
