> I can think of few who deserve time off more than you do, but would it be possible to delegate a "housesitter" to take out the trash in your absence?
It might be possible. Anyone who would like to volunteer should probably let me know by email. And in case you missed it, I'm temporarily at:
instead of my usual email address.
> Speaking of which, would it be possible for you to just delete obviously offensive posts as soon as they're noticed and to notify the posters of their banning on PBA?
Usually what I do is leave the posts that lead to warnings and blocks. That way, I think what I'm responding to is (more) clear. I think there's something about this in the article.
But if there are more posts, because I didn't block the person right away, sometimes those I'll delete.
I think it's better to post warnings and blocks "where the action is". Otherwise, those involved, and those lurking, might miss it.
> Sometimes, even when odorant trash is removed, bad smells remain.
I know... But those who forget the past...
