First, I feel so helpless on this site, without my Moderator tools...

Now, I don't even know where to start with this whole thing. I'm a bit miffed that you guys left after I went to bat for you, but I also understand the predicament we're all in. I started a thread in the Mod forums, under the title of "Where's the missing thread?"

Opening post was as follows:

You know, the one where we discussed shutting down The Aussie Thread? Because I must have missed that. Yet there it is on my screen, a mod threatening them over the use of the word "Seppo". Total bullshit, that's what I think. How many complaints have we gotten? Anyone? Anyone? Yeah, that's what I thought. Outside of the thread where some Aussies and the Lone Scot picked on American riders, I don't recall any other complaints.

If some dickhead complained that the boys are referring to Americans as seppos, too damn bad. They're complaining because they don't know what the hell the word means. It's hardly an insult, and it's certainly not worth getting your knickers in a knot over. But someone's got a bee in their bonnet over it anyway. So someone please explain to me how they can justify closing The Aussie Thread. It's not like it's known for being about just cycling either. That's been an accepted fact for a long time now.

Thanks Exy, it is appreciated.

Seriously though, I personally appreciate your efforts. It's tough to know behind the scenes what's going on, and as you know a day in Internet time is a week everywhere else......I mean, page 10 ALREADY???

after long and careful consideration a cunning plan was hatched, and some 200+ days after the inital handover climbo finally completed the delivery.

Lucky you paid extra to get the express service
