Harumph!² — Could some nice mod please move the non-bon-motto flaming to the tarpit — some of us are busting our brains here trying to find Wikipedia a new motto.
We shall move that and related posts (including this one, and the deleted one IMO) to the WRR forum as soon as Mr. Bee has amassed enough posts of his own to view and post to that forum...
Anyway, it's just that nobody ever did anything like that here before, and we're a little hypervigilant when it comes to new registrants, given the fact that the
real spammers are far more numerous (and probably far more clever) than we are. I'm sure Mr. Bee understands - it's nothing personal!
Thanks for that, Mr. Somey, I think that made sense. So yes, I do understand. But I agree with (and apologize to) John A & RDH [IAWAATJAARDH] - I feel bad that the thread got derailed, and am happy for the crap to be clipped, whether or not I can see it. I'd be even happier if no one had seen it, but that ship has sailed.
Of course, it would be unproductive of me to point out that a quick message informing me of the deletion would have prevented me ever asking, and thus the whole subsequent public analysis of my various shortcomings...
But nobody likes paralipsis.
ps as pennance for my sins against this thread:
