I was going to start a thread, "perfection is the enemy of good’, but noticed there was another similar thread a few years ago. So I abandoned it.

Then I meant to respond to the Gacy Killer Clown thread but inadvertently started the ‘perfection’ thread.

I immediately altered the body suggesting that a mod could disappear it. So maybe that’s what happened but, if so, it sure happed fast.

Anyway, I can’t find it now.

You said to disappear it, I accommodated. In the first 15 minutes, no issues. Just good timing.

Perfect! Thank you. It seemed more like 15 seconds.

It happens sometimes. I’ve had threads disappear in the middle of my typing a response/Mod flag. Weird feeling, that.

Yes, I can see where that would freak a body out.
