And yes, this comprises the ruins of a posting I had been working on until I checked the MeFi archives, but I mean my question sincerely. It's also my gift to other T. Rex fans.

overly pedantic?

Maybe a single line giving the count of how many posts were deleted? That way you get an idea of how bad the pileup was. I gotta say that the "This message has been deleted by an administrator" posts strewn all over the imdb forums are a major annoyance, especially when they comprise an entire thread.

jenovus, actually I was inspired by how much fun I had as a result of this thread a few years back. (It was a quiet phone-duty day, so I got to read a bunch of the stories. Eleven days of that would be awesome!)

I still don't get the "dead grasshopper" reference in the subject. Grr!

phearlez, I'd say the fairly clear test is the one you're putting yourself through when you debate posting to a thread.

How many people end up not asking any questions because they don't want to blow their wad on something that's driving them crazy since something actually critical might come up? I find this happens to me all the time, and of course, just this week, the day after I did ask a question, I pretty desperately wanted to ask another. Aargh.

One question per week plus one 'bonus' per calendar month. That's the only pony I want.

Oh,... [more]
