It was HandyAndy who started the thread so I can't see why you'd think he'd want to remove it less than an hour later.
That's why I think Andy may have requested to have his own thread removed. Or maybe Site decided to take it down because HA could have just as easily put his OP in here. But now we have yet another puzzling mystery to ponder... Who is Site?

If you read HandyAndy's OP he made no attempt whatsoever to blame Google for anything. He explained exactly why and how he discovered that Grampy Bobby had published the same poem under three different attributions. HandyAndy even explained that he used Google to find this out. I can't see how you asking "Who is Google?" had anything to do with the thread being deleted.

Why? He doesn't appear to have a short attention span or unable to discern the meaning behind words.
I'm telling you because you have a knack for consistently missing the point and forgetting what you've said less than 2 minutes after saying it.

I didn't say it had anything to do with that. I brought this idea up as a possibility, not as a fact.
When I asked Who is Google you assumed I was asking what is google. This is what I meant by your responses being reflexive... you're so intent on giving fast answers that you're not bothering to stop and think about what anything actually means.

Well I can't see how you asking "Who is Google?" could possibly have had anything to do with the thread being deleted.

A search engine is not a who, a search engine is a what... but you already know this, so why were you answering a question I did not ask?
Originally posted by lemon limeHandyAndy explained that he used Google. What possible angle do you think you have quibbling "Who" or "What"? The only reason you know HandyAndy used Google is because HandyAndy told you he used Google. How more ludicrous could it be than for you to suggest that HandyAndy had his own thread deleted in order to prevent people from seeing that you had posted the words "Who is Google?" ?

Or are you going to take the chance that you can bury this page under another mountain of wind?

Maybe it was you who asked to have that thread deleted, that's another possibility. I doubt it, because you never seem to know when you've been caught in a lie or when you've said something foolish... you just continue chuntering along breathlessly from one post to the next.

Originally posted by lemon limeI thought the thread was a good one. HandyAndy's candour was interesting. I don't really get why it was deleted but I certainly don't think it was deleted because HandyAndy requested it.

Galveston75 continued moving in his games and is now sculking back into the Spirituality forum as will Grampy Bobby here, once he feels the attention level this thread is bringing him has decayed.
No one reads Culture. Geeeeeez.
