I've been known to kill a thread or two in my day. Welcome to the internet, folks, where your feelings don't matter.

I'd rather be playing my mandolin rather than talking about mandolins , that's why I don't reply very often. Also, I read what I'm interested in, but that doesn't mean I need to comment. I think it would be great if I could get Mandolin Cafe in news paper form so I could take it into the bathroom with me.......

Getting to my point about the moderators being quick to shut down threads, here is the last post that caused the thread I mentioned to be shut down... Is that really that offensive or controversial to warrant a shut down? It didn't offend me in the slightest, even though it was a little sarcastic I suppose. I don't even know what "rule" was broken to be honest?
