You did indeed start THIS thread. When you attempted to reply to
that thread, whatever it is, you didn't. You created a new thread,
which is just you warning people about an evil link that is never
mentioned. When people ask (though not always politely) for details,
you've gotten defensive and seem very reluctant to provide details on
what it is that you're talking about. No one named Barbara has
posted in your thread so far. A bit reminiscent of Monty Python.
Either you pressed the wrong button on your news reader when you
attempted to "reply" or you're having a bit of fun at our expense with
a variation of the "how do you keep an idiot in suspense" gag, and
seeing how long you can keep this going. The more polite responses
are from people giving you the benefit of the doubt and are willing to
forgive you for a simple error. The less polite ones likely believe
you to be causing a bit of mischief here. The longer you drag this
out without providing details, the more it will appear that you're the
latter. The fact that you're posting with a phony email address
doesn't lend a lot of credibility either.
