OK. I have looked up the "deleted" thread.

Doesn't often sparkle here these days, does it? - Page 29 - ForumGarden

There are more cached pages, of course, easily found.

Surely censoring individual posts would be more sensible, or censuring individual posters.

Well, this evening, actually. Two disadvantages:

1) They're best eaten fresh out of the oven.

2) I can smell them cooking from here.
