OT: a new sink record with an added twist: OT

in Off Topic
I asked a question this morning about an Apple update problem. Here's the link:
http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1189970/ot-anybody-else-having-an-issue-with-mail-since-apple-update-ot#latest

I don't see how it was considered controversial, but shortly before 11:00 it was already sunk. Then besides that even though I posted that update at 12:57 with what I thought might be helpful to others the thread doesn't show the 12:57 post - just the one by fishlessman at 10:43.

It's still a head scratcher to me!

    I've had a couple of non contreversial threads sunk over the last few months. I just chalked it up to a glitch in the system, or the mods think my threads are not very interesting, which could definately be the case lol!

    Ron I'm now one of the moderators. I killed your thread just to let you know who is boss around here. Next I'm going to kill all Yeti threads or threads posted by Yeti lovers ;)

    My wife gets really pissed when I drink. But as of late I have been really enjoying drinking a little again. It's something about the holidays that makes me want to kick back and enjoy Jacks finest. Thats Mr Daniels to everone else ;)

    @RRP- I had one sunk and totally buffaloed a couple of weeks ago for commenting of the difficulties FedEx was having with shipping-totally factual and no adult words in any comment.  Things have certainly taken a strange twist of late.  Sensitivity meter is on the high peg.

    lousubcap ... Maybe the moderators are drinking also ... would explain the lack of consistency.

    before 11 AM today? That raises my age old question about late LATE night revelers who are drinking between 3 and 4 AM...are they late night or are they early morning? If, as you suggest then yes - by 11AM like happened to my post today the mods on the early shift of 3 to 4 AM were probably tied in a dog knot by then! LOL!!!

    Darby I don't know if that is the case or not my friend. I have posted quite a few pics from various stages of Exxon/Mobils subsea endevours as well as their spooling and umbilical operations. Thus far, the buffalo has always shown mercy. Maybe it has to do with if they are portrayed in a negative way. We can sure test the hypothesis though. Here is some of Exxon/Mobils umbilicals for Hadrian South Deepwater Project. Standing by for buffalo attack.

    I think it is the mere mention of a corporation. Anything remotely like competition. Not just Primo

    Let's see 


    McDonalds

    Pizza Hut

    Al Ginsberg's Sex Toy Emporium

    The

    seems to have suddenly struck. Maybe there is something to the mentioning corporations after all.
