Are you guys serious? You were duped by an obvious joke of a title (which is the real issue here) and you went to Mr. Wilson who actually DID delete the thread? That's just lame.
Since the dupees were asking you to delete the thread, and now it's gone, I assumed they got their wish.
I'm saying it's lame that people can't police themselves without calling for the moderator to filter out the content they don't wish to read. I could understand if it was some profanity-laced post, or some other post that blatently violated forum rules, but I didn't think the people who wanted the post deleted had any justification in asking for that. Hell, I don't like half the posts here. If I see a title that doesn't look interesting to me, or one that looks like it might just tick me off to read it, I just move along. I didn't think asking for moderator help whenever I saw something I didn't like was even an option.
