Nope- we just pruned the rampant thread resurrection that's been going on. Deleting the offending posts then takes away all subsequent replies (and takes the thread back to its original date).
The mischevious culprit (not The_LHC!) has now been banned, so we'd appreciate no further discussion on the matter!
And for future reference, if anyone is annoyed by a spammer - or any member acting particularly (note stress there) oddly, please let us know rather than just jumping on the thread and aggrevating the situation.
Thanks 🙂
