Hi Tuba and all. Just to note a couple of missing threads for you: In Great Debates: Time to Bow out Gracefully [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36728](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36728) And In the Pit: It’s a story of a guy named Fog-ey [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36806](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36806) The first was started by FriendofGod to announce he would be posting rarely if at all, having more or less accomplished what he came to SDMB to do. The second was a well-constructed parody flight-of-fancy by SqrlCub about FriendofGod. The first vanished this morning, just after I had posted a response to Joe Cool’s comments in it; my post contained some coding problems, where quotes didn’t close and bolds were not turned off. The second apparently disappeared at something like the same time. It is possible that FriendofGod asked they be deleted. It doesn’t sound like his “style” to do so, but it may be so. And Gaudere, whom I asked to fix my coding, may have sequestered the first thread in some way to work on it – I do not know the extent of the Awesome Powers of the Moderator ™. But if neither is the case, you have a glitch to deal with. Yeah, I know, just what you needed on a Friday. 🙂 ---

I know that, Satan. I also know, from John’s retelling, that Montfort was restless and tore the bed apart. So I wished **him** on Uncle Beer if he makes trouble. 🙂 ---

Uh, Montfort, you post that and then a sig line that contradicts yourself? Right? 🙂 ---

Right? 🙂 \*\* Well, she hadn’t been mentioned yet, either in the thread, nor even in my message at that point. And, I wanted to make it clear that it was **not** going to be UncleBeer. 🙂 ---

So (to avoid getting this thread kicked over to MPSIMS) what is the board policy on byplay in a thread advising of a problem, Tuba? 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Polycarp \* > \*\*what is the board policy on byplay in a thread \*\* Look around, Sport. Do you see any threads _without_ byplay? If your complaint about FriendofGod was so finely-tuned that it simply _must_ be read, then just post it again and get on with your life. ---

You may remember Mickey Rourke from a small cameo in \*Body Heat \*\*, or in the ensemble cast of _Diner_, but 2sense is probably making a pun on your name and his title role in _Barfly_.
