and remember....
no MEANS no
-------------------- PEACE zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Unless the server crashes and the backups fail. Then accounts are deleted.

Yes exactly. So my message to anyone who wants their account deleted is: wait for the server to crash and the backups to fail.

I was going to ask him to delete my account as well, but he'll consider it a worthy opportunity to make a rare exception to his aforementioned policy on deletion of accounts.

Why is it that you don't delete accounts?

It screws up the context of old threads and makes it impossible to search those users' posts or ignore them. It also takes some effort to do properly, and I'm still finding cruft in the database from accounts deleted years ago. 90% of the requests are from paranoid users who don't actually need their account deleted. And finally I don't want people to get in the habit of making self-incriminating posts, then counting on an immediate response from an admin in the event of an emergency. I know there has been some confusion and inconsistency about this in the past, so make no mistake - from this day forward, it doesn't matter if the DEA is busting down your door - your account ain't being deleted. You're always free to go back through your old messages and edit out any incriminating statements, and that's what I suggest people do. But if you're still uncomfortable with this policy you shouldn't post on the Shroomery.

F.G.: yea, I had to google that one <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruft
The person who turned me on to the shroomery back in 99/00 disappeared in one of those server & backup crashes , I never got to read any of his posts. His name was something like abronbibly as I recall. He gave me his equipment after he got busted by the feds, then 5 years later, the feds took the very same spore syringes when they busted me. Ahh nostalgia.

I was going to search it with dictionary.com but thought you a more grand reference, since you were using the word.
