Insofar as is relevant here, my “style” is faithfully to continue applying Lauda’s style. I offer hereby to serve as an executive editor, not to rewrite the thread from scratch. I have no desire to create my own wallets thread; frankly, I would rather spend the time writing my own wallet. I have been intending that for awhile.

I think you and suchmoon are right, what I understood from suchmoon post is that you can come up with a new thread about 'bitcoin wallet for newbies', the rest is left to you, you can do whatever you like, if you want to edit the thread, but distinctly referenced it to the original work of Lauda with the link available on the new topic that you created, I think you have nothing to be worried about. I may not be totally right, but I think you can send PM to theymos about this before any edition to give you the conditions to meet before the thread will be eligible to be pinned.

I think if you have done this before without any notice until you created a new topic about it would be better, distinctly referencing it and stating that it is the original work of Lauda will make it credible if your work is actually credible. If it deserves to be pinned, it would be pinned.

It occurred to me that this should be resolved administratively.

My point exactly. Instead of telling us how well you'd do it, you could have been halfway through creating a new thread and actually showing us how you'd do it.

You missed the point. I want to keep and preserve something that has served the community well for years. I do not want to throw it out and replace it. Creating a new thread would be counterproductive to what I seek to achieve.

With that being said, perhaps I may make a new thread if there seems to be too much of a danger that this thread will be replaced rather than preserved. Or perhaps not: Although I care about the existence of a good wallets thread, the desire to preserve Lauda’s thread is what decisively motivates me to undertake a commitment that I take very seriously. I haven’t decided, and I hope that I won’t need to.

You clearly just want to get rid of this thread. Bury it. Slide it away.

My suggestion is to create a better replacement thread and then ask moderators to unpin this one. Calling it "burying" is disingenuous to say the least.

By what disingenuous pretzel-logic does replacing and unpinning the thread not result in burying it?

Unpinning it means letting it slide into oblivion, with its 99% still-good information that only needs to be maintained against obsolescence.

You don’t know how I handle technical issues, since you are practically nonexistent in the technical forum.

This is a newbie board.

This is a thread where technical competence is required to collate and edit the information in OP. It is fundamentally a technical thread, delivered at a newbie level. Treating it otherwise is to invite misinformation.

It's a thread. About wallets. Your irrational emotional attachment to a long-gone forum member makes no sense here.

I have never seen such an overtly psychopathic statement anywhere on this forum. You are celebrating psychopathy!

Some of us believe that people matter. Some of us are loyal to our friends. Some of us do not treat those who were kind to us as disposable things, to use and to throw away.

Yes, some of us have emotional attachments to human beings. When you contemn that as “irrational”, you let your mask slip. Classic psychopathy.

With that, for the time being, I will ignore further replies here unless something new and interesting arises. This is a waste of time, not constructive action. Lauda’s thread is probably the wrong place for this discussion, anyway—especially since she’s not here to delete anything that she deems not a useful addition to her wallets thread. She always did that, without hesitation and without apology.
