IMDB.com has an ignore list, which is pretty much the same except you
see a spot in the thread that says "this post ignored" or words to that
effect.

IMDB is now another site that wants either your credit card or phone
details to sign up, as I discovered the other day. No thanks...

If you've ever bought anything off of Amazon then they already have that
information.

Does IMDB have account details from Amazon? That sounds rather
unethical...

Yes, Amazon owns IMDB:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Movie_Database
I would not expect them to share personal account details between the
two though.

You can sign in using an amazon account, a gmail account, a facebook
account, or an account specific to IMDB. I would be very surprised if
there was any internal isolation between the different kinds of
accounts.

Yes, you're most likley right about that. Presumably they have some
sort of disclosure somewhere (not that I am all *that* concerned).

In future I'll use my Amazon login details - not that I really need to
login very often as I rarely post there. Thanks very much for the
great info

I only use IMDB for research and generally don't have to sign in.

Same here, a bit of research and that's about it.

I like
it better for that than I do Wicki. I've had an Amazon Prime account for
many years, seldom ever have a problem other than the USPS losing
shipped items. But, then, they lose my prescription drugs on a regular
basis.

I'm in Australia and have never bought pharmaceuticals online. I
seldom buy much from Amazon these days, but used to buy a lot of music
and DVDs from there 15 years ago. Can't recall losing any shipments
from Amazon (or anywhere else for that matter, come to think of it).
Better go and touch some wood, now that I've said that...

My Medicare provider is ten miles away, generally the meds they send me
make it here. Insulin is delivered by courier and I have to sign for it.
Kelsey-Seybold Medicare Advantage Plan is very good at what they do. The
only five star Medicare Plan in the US of A.

The problem with the U.S. Postal Service is that it is heavily unionized
and the post masters are afraid of the union. I have lived in other
states where the post masters do a good job but the ones here in Harris
County, Texas are a bunch of fraidy cats. I generally have to call the
post mistress about once every three or four months looking for my mail
that I knew was coming. We have learned to ship Christmas presents to
relatives in other states by United Parcel Service, UPS does a good job
of getting things where they're supposed to be. If we ship them USPS
they seem to disappear easily. I suspect there are a lot of postal
carriers that have sticky fingers.

Sheesh. In Australia there is only one real carrier of mail, that
being Australia Post, which is government owned but a large portion of
the business is run by contractors. Aus Post is in it's death throes
and will be privatised soon. I can only imagine the problems that will
bring... Aus Post is far from perfect but I can honestly say I cannot
recall a missing letter or parcel from them in more than 30 years.
