I was away trying to find a seat for Far. 9/11 (it's the second time I arrive HALF an hour BEFORE the movie begins and YES it was FULL AGAIN. YES. FULL. AGAIN.) so anyway I went to see spiderman it was a good movie.

but anyway, what happened to the thread "ambush..." started by Peter. I can't see it anywhere. Please explain what happened for the standard lockination process to be overriden...

You invent the "stupidity detection" AI code.

Oh wait.. shouldn't it be something like...

code:

if ( [[post posterUserName] isEqualToString:@"Zimphire"] )
{
[post delete];
}

JUST JOKING ZIMPHIRE
