So, like, poor old DonDiego was composing a post for the thread concerning old folks surviving in spite of perceived unhealthful habits which transmogrified into a hate-fest on copyright infringement and repetitive personal invective.
And he goes to post it, . . . and the thread is gone! Well, here's his post anyway.

For the record DonDiego tried to get this thread back on track yesterday. [Only yesterday? It seems so long ago.]
The topic is interesting and open to both serious and frivolous comments. Or the poster may choose to poison it, . . . inject venom as anthony suggests.
[Once again anthony shows his great wisdom and immense forbearance on the Las Vegas Advisor.]
Here's a thought. Consider online fora like real conversation with real people. [DonDiego is for all practicable purposes venom-free in real life, . . . and 90%+ free of venom online. The reader is invited to analyze himself.]
If one would not carry on a real-life conversation as one carries on an online conversation, one should knock it off. DonDiego recognizes the "freedom" online conversations grant, because there's seldom any real-life consequences from one's misbehavior. But one should still KNOCK IT OFF!
If the seemingly venom-full posters on this thread do, in fact, behave this way in real life, . . . DonDiego has only pity for them and their miserable existence.
[DonDiego is still waiting for alanleroyII to call Chilcoot a "Poo Poo Head". That should end the thread.]
