And the thread has been closed and the user warned AGAIN - why don’t the mods edit the OP with an edit ’ removed for violating rules’ instead of leaving the OP up?

Leaving the post up gives the search engines time to index it and allows the OP to say his blog is being published in “yet another” forum,etc -

Seems to me, that like spammers - these things should just be removed.

Why not bad the guy? Spam us after being warned not to spam us = no chance of being a worthwhile contributor. What are the mods afraid of?

Looks like different moderators saw each one … and not the other one.

AND these threads are TWO WEEKS APART.

But this does have one outcome

Excellent. We have some other areas left for your next difference making:

1. Curing cancer

2. Ending sectarian violence

3. Convincing people to stop using Comic Sans

Well, I think sectarian violence just gets a bad rap.

I’ve heard that comic sans cures cancer.

Or causes it.

One of those.

I guess my campaign to have the default font changed to comic sans isn’t going to get your full support.

I’m eating smoked turkey, honey roasted turkey, salami, and Gouda cheese on wheat right now. It’s pretty good.
