I find it highly amusing that no moderator posted anything publicly until 4 pages into the discussion. I normally notice a moderator showing up fairly quickly with a post saying something to the effect of "stay on topic" or "open a new thread if you have another conversation or topic". One last question. Why was the thread moved from whatever section it was in to the tech lounge in the first place?

    I am assuming that the thread was moved to tech lounge because it degenerated so quickly. Scott (WinDrivers) moved the thread, and he allowed it to continue, so I am merely doing the same.

    Perhaps because valid points are being made on both sides? Is that not the point of a forum?

    Edit: both sides.... mmm I mean, many sides, there are a number of facets to this.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Give it a rest Doc. You haven't posted an on topic reply in either thread today. If you want to complain about the deleted posts, you can either fill up my private messages, or email [email protected]

    Agreed CW WD Riot, but it was so far down the line that I think the "Play-on" rule may apply here.

    I have not noticed any further posts from iateyourcat, so I assume the argument is purely academic for the others here.

Totally on topic.

    As for PM, I don't think so. You don't get it and I won't explain it to you.
