I had a funny response just now to a thread I was reading. I typed it in, pressed post...and Wham! This topic does not exist.

Lousy ability to delete threads for no reason.

Was it the Blink-182 thread? I had a somewhat amusing post there too. I was just going to check on it, and now it's gone.

So now that you have your own thread, what were you going to say? [Smile]

I was going to respond to someone saying my remark about blink 182 only having 2 songs on their greatest hits album was "unfair". It went like this:

I'm sorry my response was "unfair" to Blink 182 and their numerous fans. As punishment, I will learn to play Blink 182's entire catalogue on my guitar.

::ten seconds passes::

Finished.

I have, at times, said profoundly stupid things. I have, at times, lost my temper and it showed. I have, at times, said things that later I'm embarrassed about.

But I don't edit or delete my posts! I said it, and that's that.

I HATE HATE HATE when I'm reading a thread and suddenly it doesn't make sense because someone deleted their post, and all I get is the reactions to said post. It's better when they edit the post so I know something is missing, but that does annoy me, too.

So yeah, I agree that deleting threads and deleting individual posts is annoying! Drives me crazy, too. Deleting posts is useful for the occassional double post. That's pretty much it.

(One time that I remember I edited a post on the other side. I took out the text of a paper I had written, with a note that if someone was interested, they could email me. But I waited until it was on page two.)

ETA: By edit I meant removing large chunks and leaving [post deleted] or something like that. I do regular editing all the time. Like now...
