Once or twice, i have this HUGE list of CRAP. I wait 2 minutes, press "reload", and real posts are "back" (where they should be). Obviously these 2 occasions are by "chance". But the conclusion is that moderators here and ON. Where do i put the rep? Where do i send the rare surplus of monies? It's very similar to the Firebird Foundation, keep going, don't believe the hype.

Hey, you deal with the Delphi IDE long enough, you need a fistful of cheap unmarked pills of dubious provenance to get through the day!
