Oh I’ve got the goods… but not this script. I think you’re remembering [this script](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16600430&postcount=20) which was posted by **Roland Orzabal**.

> It will remove them entirely; there will be no “Show this post”-type buttons, so the only evidence that they ever existed will be the fact that there are fewer posts/threads on the page than there ought to be, and the post numbers will skip. This is a design feature intended to more thoroughly eradicate the object(s) of your ire from your awareness, and not at all functionality I was just too lazy to add.
