wrightskyguy 1 #1 August 11, 2008 I recently had a thread sent to the recycle bin. I'm trying to move on, but I'm having trouble dealing with this overwhelming sense of shame. Is there any advice any of you recycled posters can give that will help me feel human again? John Wright World's most beloved skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 August 11, 2008 There seems to be a few new rules here lately: 1) No gross stuff. 2) No posting new threads which make fun of other existing threads. I can agree with #1. But if we're not doing #2 now and then, then we're not having enough fun. Your problem is you violated both rules in one thread. If you had only done #2 in a nice way, it might have survived. Keep your sense of humor intact. You're okay, and we're not going to banish you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #4 August 11, 2008 Don't feel bad. I probably have more threads and posts sent to the Recycle Bin than anybody else that's still posting here.
