Its more that I have ever had

Do you think gender might make a difference?

Possibly - I only chose this agent from a list because I rang three female agents, and she was the nicest sounding one

I tested the rude word filter, but I think there was more to it than that - I honestly don't know what I wrote to get banned in that thread. No warnings or nothing first, which was annoying to say the least.

I had a post deleted, answering the question "what has a hazelnut in every bite?"

seems very severe - but at least it was only a temporary ban. I had a friend who got banned permanently for very little reason. He was trolling a bit. He replied to posts with swearing and got warned then questioned it with the mods(in a polite way). He also resurrected a few old threads.

On his behalf I asked ferret why he was banned - but never got a reply. ferret seems a nice chap so must have has his reasons - I suppose he can't discuss with me cos of data protection or something.

I never quite understood why 1 is not prime - is it cos divisible only by 1 and itself - and 1 and 1 does not make sense?

It depends upon your definition of the set of primes. There is no magic: it is a human-defined set. It seems to be the norm to exclude '1'. I d wonder how much this has to do with the development of algorithms for solving finding primes, where '1' itself is a bit of a nuisance. (So is '2').

Yes, but I deleted it.

Lucky that didn't delete the whole thread!

"More Analysts Than Lucy"?

But that might be too much.

I like "Brilloant" but I still feel that custom titles should be for more than a mere 5000 posts....

10000 - now there's a target for you

I think that Lucys custom title should be "loves troll" and vica versa.

I just Lucy does not become a councellor - she could do real damage.

I will celebrate the 5k (with alot of tpd posting) then head for the 10k. Few milestones n the way e.g. Churchill.

I have already expressed my opinion on why your friend was banned.

I think mine was also a warning to stop nerd-flirting with CM in so many threads. It had perhaps gone on a bit too much, but luckily for the rest of you, we moved it over to TPD when I came back.

Unfortunately for me, there's now too much competition for flirting

Bugger, Mrs PRC wants me to go and watch Hugh Fearnly Whatsisface breed chickens.

All because I said I'd quite like a couple of chickens in the garden.

indeed - see Nick's later post and my reply to it.

Right, I'm off to bask in the unalloyed adoration of several barmaids, who will doubtless be held spellbound by the gripping saga of my finding a consistently reliable workaround to a browser bug based on a fundamental understanding of how a web page rendering engine actually operates internally.
