 I just went back to the stealth lock thread. I totally missed Trout's post there about Millie's lock. When I saw Trout say it was spamming I went back to re-read it. Then I saw the OP's links at the bottom of his post advertising the free lindens place. NOW it makes sense to me. hehe
 
 Just wanted to express my whoops.
I don't know if you need to retract anything, to be honest.  Lots of people advertise their businesses in their sigs.  I don't know if that guys one or two posts amounts to spamming, even though his business is pretty shady and it was likely that he posted a fake question just to get his url's out there.  Millie's assertion that it was spamming and therefore deserved a lock is perfectly valid, but I think an argument can be made for it not being spam.  At any rate, his question was answered, so on the off chance it was legit, then he's got his answer.  If it wasn't, then the thread is locked.  In either case, no harm was done.

 Portugal 2-3 Germany
 
 Portugal with a very late goal from Helder Postiga, but it was not enough, and the Germans reach the semi finals.

I just kinda called Millie out in my earlier post in a way. I just wanted to retract that. I try to give credit where due and lumps where deserved lol. Spam is a term that is very thrown around the board at times. Some would call this thread spam but be completely off base. It just seems to be like Coke covering a multitude of soda types. It is a easy word to use when nothing else fits the lock.

That's bad.  It takes a lot of bourbon and maybe a fist fight for me to feel as bad as he looks. I swear, every time I see him, I'm afraid he's about to heel over dead.

All I was saying is that you could make a case either way.  My personal impression is that he was trying to advertise his free Lindens scam...I mean "business".  But you could argue the other side of it as well.  I think Millie did the right thing, but I think Mac's first argument had a lot of validity as well.  That's why being a moderator is a tough job.  It's not the easy calls that get you, it's the close judgment calls.

 I am still posting from hospital rooms, but everything is looking good - it's just a matter of pop healing now (should be in the hospital for another week or so)...and physical therapy (he has a wonderful long incision - he can't move a muscle in his body without tugging at it - wheee!!!)
 
 Want to thank all of you again for the well wishes - this thread is a real nice way to regain my insanity when the world keeps trying to make me serious.
 
 Back later - have fun folks!!
