I had a near-death experience reading that thread at the time it was nuked I was going to post a reply when my screen flickered, and a window popped up saying either I was not logged in, or that I no longer had posting priveleges...what the .......?????

I hit the back button and it was like going back in time...everything was normal again, except one thread was missing.........

I don't think it is the thank you that got it nuked, it was the call for reinstatement.......This gentleman has a long, long, long, long history of erractic behaviour on every RC forum, most of whom banished him. He is an extremely talented and entertaining writer at times, but he does have a dark side, and it has surfaced many times.....
