Ok, thanks for stepping forward. I feel that 90% of the posts I scroll through do not provide anything useful. Most of them are uneccessary questions, meaningless comments, silly jokes, or notes about something mundane.

But that´s the nature of human interaction. We spend a lot of time on "uneccessary" details or being silly.

And then why not delete the other joke a little further up the thread?

Yes, I´m glad that there are checks and balances. Trigger happy people lose themselves when left unchecked, so super-admins are needed to watch out over the trigger happy admins. Of course trigger happy people shouldn´t really be administrating threads in the first place, but that´s a different discussion.

It wasn´t a inconvenience really, just strange.

I know it´s been beer time in Australia for many hours now. Maybe that played into it

Let's leave it at that. Carry on....
