This is **not** a post which fits within the forum description, but it most certain falls within the spirit of this community and this message board, so I’m hoping the mods will cut me a little slack here. {Note- crossposting deleted. Lynn} [Edited by Lynn Bodoni on 03-27-2001 at 06:53 PM] ---

Admonishment accepted Lynn. About half an hour after I posted I actually thought of a way I could have linked to the thread concerned within the context of a valid Pit post (there was actually a Pitworthy issue raised in that thread), but I didn’t want to start another thread. My apologies to you and the other mods, it won’t happen again. ---

but now I’m curious about what dang thread we’re talking about! Where is the first post? ---

Can we lock this before we get a heap of people asking about which thread I linked to in the OP? Thanks ---

Well, seems to me we could always just do a search and find where you posted after here…if we were so inclined. I, myself, I’ve got other things to do. ---

Hey, what thread was linked in the OP? Help a guy out… 🙂 ---

OK, just for the record…it was LittleTassie’s thread. I looked her up, did a few background checks, and found out that she’s been here before, under various names. You might know her best as Boo Boo’s Little Tigress (or something like that). Anyway, she’s known to make up fake families and post about their happenings. If anyone wants to make a board-wide announcement, you should email Tubadiva or me. We can make an admin announcement. Reprise, I’m glad you see the light now. And now you know better.

and I am going to ask you to do that Lynn, I have quite deliberately left this thread alone since your earleier comments, other than asking for it to be locked. The call was yours to make, you made it and I respect and acknowledge that. While I didn’t make the post in multiple forums, the link should not have been posted in this forum at all unless it was done within the context of a post which complied with Pit guidelines. You did what you had to do Lynn - no hard feelings, I’m not arguing with your call. Now can we please close this thread? Thanks ---

I’ll do the honours, as long as I’m here anyway. 😉
