Oh yes please, do let's trot out the old "you're just pissed because you can't say "cunt" in the Pit anymore" chestnut. For once and for all, can you people just fucking get off that? Here's another dialogue that makes about as much sense as that: "I can't stand you any more, and I want a divorce." "You're just mad because I didn't rinse out my...

I hope you turn the corner soon, Lynn , and are able to return and give your full attention to the board of which you're such a key and irreplaceable part.

I'm sorry that I don't have a long and quiet response, but again, I have a few minutes here and there between rushing to and from the hospital and trying to get life organized. I have no anger on account of your leaving, Giraffe . Just the reverse: I think that was the best decision that you could have made. I am sorry that you perceive me as dumping on you, such is surely not my intention. In the examples you cited, however, in one...

Isn't this something better resolved privately? You two were mods together for a long time. Email each other and work it out.

Moderating is a part time leisure activity. Sometimes real life situations interrupt and we need a break. Lynn is currently going through one of those times. We'll see her when she can come back.

Embedded quotes have never happened automatically. There's a way to do it by hand, which I'll leave it to someone who does it regularly to explain. You can get more or less the same effect by choosing multiple quotes -- use the little +" button to mark the quotes you want to use (they'll appear in the order you click), then hit "post reply" and they'll all be there.

I think this is wrong. In fact for the disloyalty that they have shown by letting their subscription lapse they should suffer additional degradations of service. For a start their usernames should be replaced with random character strings and their IDs be up for grabs. This could lead to some amusing misunderstandings when someone latches onto a former nutcase's ID and starts posting.

I'm not sure those two options are mutually exclusive. But the delay has in fact been reduced to 180 seconds.

I don't think it was that the thread was unsuitable, just that it's a repost from numerous other message boards under the same user name, except on some of the other boards, they weren't playing coy about the subject. I have doubts as to whether it's even original.
