Post deletion

Ok - today I have deleted over 100 posts. (In fact, there were so many
to delete, I wrote an app to auto-retreive the headers).

Things that will get your posts deleted:
- personal attacks (i.e. the mean spirited kind)
- profain language
- wildly off-topic conversations

I really have better things to do with my day and don't like being "the
man," but I considering how there are some people who post real
questions (and expect real answers) I will continue to whack posts that
might prevent someone from doing that.

....just as I was growing to like you, Ben....

nah, just kidding, you're still the man. But uh, doesn't profanity get
auto-smooshed for the most part? And, regarding OT posts, my contention that
unless there's a billion of them and they fill up the server, that people
can still ask questions, regardless of how many OT posts there are.

And, with respect to personal attacks, can we still make fun of PaisleySkye?

Now how is anybody going to learn Office Space quotes?

They still do ask those questions in the exams, right?

Maybe, but I know that many of you out there are clever enough to slip
them by.

Right - like I said - "wildly off-topic" - especially the ones that go
on forever and ever and the ones that on the edge of NSFW (or over the
edge for that matter).

Like I said a few weeks ago - mark OT threads as such (with the general
topic in the subject too).

I'll be "the man" for $10 a day.
