deleting threads

Lucy

seems to be something only in the gift of the admins

David

Wasn't me.

andy

doesn't seem to be something that one can do

David

you can _hide_. I think its something to do with avoiding orphaning replies if the initial comment is deleted.

Liz

David, sometimes I think we have a lot in common e.g. love of waffles, and then you post something like that!

David

wha'd I say?

Liz

'Orphaning replies': What on earth does this mean??? It's like a whole other language.

David

Well you know, you post a message, and then the replies are children to the initial parent message. Hierarchial stuff. Surely someone who uses _'...both qualitative and quantitative techniques'_ can see that. The consultants at Credo use _qualitative_ and _quantitative_ all day long. I've been typing them for over 6 years. I've even looked them up in the dictionary, yet still they don't feel like proper words.

andy

and i'm seeing ads for ice-cream machines. bizarre

Liz

Oh crap, did I really say that somewhere on this site? I don't think I have otherwise I'd remember the inevitable scorning from Andy. Or is it in my work biog? If so, that's acceptable, I'd say.

Liz

I think the ice cream store ad must be because of the franchising discussions. I can see it too.

Liz

Sorry, just looked at the new business opportunity thread and realised this would be obvious to a child.
