Message 776294 - Posted: 1 Jul 2008, 6:44:40 UTC

... to whoever bumped all my threads 4 hours ago when I was fast asleep.

As I said in one of those threads (and hey! I have another now) "Seeing as I started this thread I ought to make my wish. If I could have one wish it would be to do whatever I want"

Today I want to play with my new camera, bought yesterday to catch the final day of the Canon £100 cash back promotion. I'll be trying to amaze you all with my improved photography, when I've worked out what all the buttons are for.

And thanks also to those who jumped to the conclusion that I did it while I was asleep, or have some urge to automate my postings. The only urge I have right now is to do whatever I want with what belongs to me, is owned by me, and is mine.

And not to do whatever anybody else wants. I am me and I will do as I please with my stuff.

Live with it!

No offense meant sir. I just thought that with as many threads you post piccies in, it would be neat to be able to add from a collection in a somewhat automated fashion. So I dreamt up that you may have done so. (I was jealous, yet again. :-))

No worries, but I don't care about any of that right now. My new Canon EOS 40D has arrived, and I'm off to play. I hope everyone else on these boards can have as much fun as me, and especially with no cares.

Take care ;)

As long as you allow the same for others I am sure things will work out fine.

I doubt it. There are sources that say a new Moon site will emerge.

I don't wish to say too much.

Talks are continuing.

If she chooses it.... yes.

It will be 100% hers. No strings attached.

The lady deserves no less than to have her site restored or rebuilt and peace of mind that she will not be victimised again.

Cheers.

Are we any closer to finding out who did this? A reasonable person would feel that there would be a log of post deletions by whom & where & when. I've been a moderator on two boards. And the latest one has full records of deletions, edits, & the like.

This smells almost like an inside job. At least now that code has been fixed, & the self-serve delete has been re-instituted with the added benefit that the same thing won't happen in the future.

I'm sorry to hear about all this,

I still don't have a full understanding of the situation, but feel bad all the same.

:(

The lady would not want to give the satisfaction for that to occur, and I am sure the person concerned would not want to sell. He would want some form of power or control to let this happen.

I think it best to consider this .com Domain name to be his leased possession and leave it at that.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I have some extra space and bandwidth if that will help someone,

Nothing I can do about the domain name though, but you'd be surprised what similar, or better names one can come up with when needed.

I'm not in favor of dredging up all this stuff again. I was just looking for a spot for me to wonder out loud. The point I was making is that the bumping of the threads shouldn't have occurred without administration realizing who bumped those threads to begin with. I was almost banned for something I didn't do. Alas.... I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Whoever heard of a place where such a thing could happen & the perpetrator not caught? Heck.... one of my threads was bumped too! Not that I cared.... but the person responsible was playing with me as well.

. . . Al - because of the CODE change - the 'likeyhood' of the 'Perpetrator'

ever bein' found out is NIL . . . (Dr. Eric Korpela commented to me 'bout this yesterday)

> i would also like to know - because one of mi Threads (Lurker's) was brought up also

- about half-way thru the 'fiasco' that occurred - though - as i mentioned

- the 'Perpetrator' < quote > Won't most likely be found < end quote > . . .

. . . ces't la vie

< ps - y'all 'ave a great Holiday . . .
