Also, when you begin a post with 'This will probably get a thread lock so I'm going to get this in here before that ...' or 'I'll probably get a warning for this but ...' chances are you shouldn't have made that post anyway and shouldn't be surprised to no longer see it. Keep in mind as well, when you go so off track to mention someone's girlfriend in a post, that's getting a bit personal, too. And as diehard mentioned, we get busy, too. While we try to PM everyone, it's not always possible, and some things are just so obvious.
