I’ve just posted a thread in GD titled ‘An essay worth reading’. Unfortunately it should have been ‘An essay **about Iraq** worth reading’. Could some kind mod please correct it? ---

Here’s the link to report it yourself, if you like. Probably get their attention sooner. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/report.php?p=5774956](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/report.php?p=5774956) ---

(I’m not saying that’s what you did, but what you did indicates this possibility) ---

That is correct. ---

Sigh. OK, **Quartz** , I’ve fixed it for you. However, it’s way way way easier on the Moderators if you simply “report bad post” … or if you email a Moderator with a link to the thread in question. WORST for the Moderators is when you reference a thread in a different forum and don’t even provide a link. Takes more of my time. Gets me annoyed. Makes me want to kick a small animal, or growl at some innocent OP. ---
