Even if the best post I have ever written gets cut, I think that I >should just live with it. I could always post it somewhere else if I got my bun >in a knott over it.

Hi: That's the very same reason why I think that to put so much stress over the neccesity to erase "off topic" post seems to me a kind of missplaced arrogance. Nothing here is so important and then everything is more or less equally important or not important. Hash table, a joke, difference in importance is just academical. Even so, considering the purpose of this place, I never posted a joke before and rarely and off topic thing, but even a minute post made for share a funny history with supposed friends seems too much for certain people. Really I was amazed at the degree of flames something that in almost every country is just nothing, a passing joke you forget at once, could produce such post againts me. Beside, you expect some moderation in the way the erasing is made if, anyway, they think they must erase. But on the contrary, If from the very first minute you are said that you have a dirty mind and have putted something stupid and one hasrh and flaming word follow another because of putting such things, worthy, as Bruce said, of the wall of your bathroom, and if, even more, when you resign and explain why they say you are performing a trick, well, after all that you wonder why are you going to let that people with the last word, sensing victoriuous and without opposition. Finally I have learned a lot: the world is a place even more mad than i thought. Greetings from the madhouse Fernando > >I don't think anyone should throw a tantrum if their post is cut.
