I can even give the long suffering Warren a hard time, and sometimes get away with it. But then when I least expect it SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED appears and it is all over. There is the Jehovaic AHEM, akin to the great I AM of the Old Testament and then the deadly "post deleted" followed by the deadlier but polite explanation of what a miserable sinner and loathesome worm unworthy of the time of day, much less this compassionate and all knowing attention I really and truly am. I am devastated, traumatized, appalled or infuriated and go off whimpering to hide under my bed and OD on my drug of choice, chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Ice cream, hot, dark, what have you. It is all so good, and I feel so much better. Sniff.
Life is hard. It is just one long trail of endless humiliations. Cheers.

Ahhh Thomas, you are such an amusing read. And we really do like your posts, we just sometimes have to adjust them!

I do enjoy reading this forum, and I have learned many interesting things. It is very frustrating to ask a question, and then not only not get an answer. But have the question deleated, and then being told to read numerous pages, most of which don't pertain to my question.

As far as I can see, no one singled you out. You asked a question, and Elspeth took the time to thoroughly research the subject before answering. Please bear in mind that we appreciate all of the feedback that we get, and assume that if a subject is brought up in an open thread, that we are perfectly free to answer in that same thread. IF this is not the case, then please feel free to take up any matter via PM.
Please also remember that there are only a few of us versus all of you, and at times we are stretched quite thin, and need to deal with situations as quickly and proactively as we can. It also makes it even more difficult for future members to search and find something if there are 30 threads on the same subject because 30 members before them could not be bothered to look for the answer to a question before starting a new thread, so I am sure that you can see what a vicious circle that could become. If you or anyone else is having any trouble finding a particular subject using the search function, please feel free to contact a member of the moderating team so that we can help.
