An apology to Dr Shades by each of you is now in order.



An entire 193 seconds has elapsed... and still no apology...

Um, I believe Sock said that "AN APOLOGY IS NOW IN ORDER"

Unacceptable. The thread itself was a duplicate of at least two other thread by Joseph, yet it did not get 'combined' with them. Darrick posts the same three threads over and over, yet they do not get 'combined.'

I bet that right about now Simon wishes Dr Shades did delete threads--this embarrassing one anyway.

They have different titles. You tried to divert from Joseph's through the confusion of using an identical title to an already in progress thread. Yours were the efforts to censor, not Dr Shades'.

[MODERATOR NOTE: As sock puppet stated, they had/have different titles, so there is less confusion. More importantly, they were active at different times and thus reside on separate pages.]

I am glad we live in a world where the content of a thread doesn't matter, but the title is the pinnacle of importance. I am also glad that rules can be made up on a whim by moderators.

If this were a thread began by a critic, it would not have been ' combined'

What were your good and noble intentions of starting a thread with the exact same title as that of an already in progress thread?
