It accomplished its goal of cutting out obnoxious over-posting, so I really don't care if anyone goes over some week by accident. If it was chronic that would be a different story. But with Judy, that is obviously not the case. I throw my hat in for leniency for all going forward. We know what the rule is about. I say everyone deserves a mulligan, using a word that I will never get a chance to use in its actual sports context. I believe that as Mark Twain pointed out "Golf is a good walk spoiled." --- In [email protected], Bhairitu <noozguru@...> wrote: > > On 07/29/2011 05:21 AM, Alex Stanley wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], Bob Price<bobpriced@> wrote: > >> Lets make it official: > >> > >> > >> > >> "Deletegate" > >> > >> We need something catchy and memorable for future archival research. > >> > >> And unless the supremos (Alex and Rick) intervene I say > >> we form a committee with subpoena powers to investigate. > > > > Jim recently spaced out on the day/time and had to take a week off.
