Hi!

I just noticed that one of the Threadspotting links on the SD front page is broken. It’s the one labeled ‘It’s spam to you. It’s fun to them. (Now with subtitles.)’, and it goes to the web address [ËÈÊÂÈÄÀÖÈß ÞÂÅËÈÐÍÎÃÎ ÌÀÃÀÇÈÍÀ - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=611846).

I _think_ this was the thread that started out with an unintelligible spam post, and we started riffing on it. Has it been removed because it started with spam?

Looks like **Spectre of Pithecanthropus** moved it to the mod forum – I’ll shoot him an email and ask why.

Ah, yes. I thought that was the one. Even before it had hit 100 replies I had already included a link to it in the “Greatest Threads” thread. A classic in the making.

Missed the edit window. Here’s [the post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13903848&postcount=91) in the “truly great threads” thread.
