banter and General Discussion, page-8527

My post thanking you was modded for off topic despite being in a thread headed banter and general discussion.

I used the report on the own post to ask the mod if they'd had a report (who'd tale offense at what I'd written? I didn't want a name I was just surprised - then I saw Lopez comment and I thought yeah maybe) or if the site was modding without complaint (I wondered if my commenting on tracking and why I don't tick might have caused the mod to remove the post without a complaint being made by other users) - I didn't get a reply from the mod.

I don't report posts. Except my own. If I think they need removing for being misleading (accidentally) or something like that.

This thread is chock full of "off-topic" stuff.

Some of the stuff in my post - the number of nucleotides being comparable to the number of people alive on the planet is kind of roughly on topic given StanJupiter speculated about AI an Mesoblast.

This post could be modded (discussing moderation- if so so be it) but I'm causing no harm to any posters I can see and although only tangentially related to MSB most of my comments even the mostly off topic parts are indirectly related because they relate to comments - red herrings sometimes raised by other posters.
