When I looked at the forum this morning, somebody appeared to have posted The Merchant of Venice to the General Discussions board. But now it appears to be no longer there. Was it deleted? Or was it in fact never there, and I'm just going a bit doolally?

It was actually The Merchant of Venus. I expect Brad deleted it because it was a blatant troll.

I deleted the thread "IT'S THE NEW MANSUN MESSAGEBOARD!!!!!" by "arrandildocompany" because it was huge and mostly gibberish (primarily because of the formatting) and I didn't feel like paying for the database space to store it and the bandwidth to send that out to anyone who clicked on the link.

I don't normally delete troll postings, just when they might cost me some money.

Arrandildocompany's a troll??? No way!!!

One of those little plastic guys with big hair and bare bums?

No, he's the slimy kind that hides under bridges and accosts passers-by.

I was planning on posting the entire Oxford English Dictionary later today. Should I hold up on that, then?

It's only shocking because I do all the other abuses of authority behind your backs.

You mean he eats goats outside?

No. See what Drexle here is trying to say is this: The price of goat meat is quickly rising, and the only way to get it cheap is if he goes out for dinner. In other words, yes, he does eat goats out. But only out at restaurants.
