I will however not allow you to use me to derail an individuals thread.
That is dishonest of you. zasad@, the OP in that thread, made posts thereby addressed to me. I replied to him. You also replied to him; and I replied to you as part of my reply to him. “Derail”? If so, zasad@ derailed his own thread. Which, by the way, has been accused of being a spam megathread by persons who are not me.
Oh, at that.
Then gets upset when someone suggest getting [Lauda’s thread] locked, possibly preventing it from becoming a spam megathread. Pretty sure Lauda hated spam as well.
n00b protip: A spam megathread is a thread where sigspamming bounty chasers make insubstantive posts to bump their post counts.
That is what you are calling a thread where (mostly) sincere well-wishers are having what has been an almost wholly positive discussion about a well-loved person who is now gone.
Are you
deliberately trying to be insulting toward Lauda? I do not see how it could be otherwise.
I am busy right now. Almost everything that you said is nonsense. I
may reply to it if/when time permits. From the foregoing, it is clear that your creation of this thread is rather pointless. Why not continue discussing this where zasad@ started the discussion?
