You wrote a strange post the other day that made bizarre accusations against unknown parties, and included an oblique penis size reference. Another moderator deleted this and sent you mail suggesting that you grow up, which seems like a fine course of action to me. There are only three moderators here. I'm one of them. I've never logged in to whatever it is that you came from, and I doubt any of the other moderators have either. Before your post, I'd never even heard of you. I had no idea what was going on, and I still don't, and that is fine with me. bruce
