As far as I'm aware, Jerome, there's no difference in the protection of D & A than in the other boards, other than that they get 'pruned' from time to time and D & A doesn't (...or maybe that's what you meant?).

I'm beginning to think it would be a good idea to move The Oldie comp to Deep Drills now. I'll see what John thinks as we moderate the board together.

(I don't mind being contacted for the DD password, as with Nigel today, for instance, so it needn't impinge on any members' accessibility.)

I'd leave it as it is, Jayne. I abhor change of any sort.

We’re free of guilt, while slinging shame
at all you older folks today.
Improved with age, like wine? The same
improvement ruins Beaujolais!
Young women ask with Rabbie, “Gin
a body kiss a body (twice),
need a body cry?” Your sin
is sexist thoughts. You’ll pay a price.
Christmas comes to bring us Coke,
not carbonated stockings. First
of sinners? Any old, white bloke
who judges our behavior. Thirst
like ours needs quenching...and sincere
or no, your morals? Such small beer!

Respect - especially for that neat piece of Burns rhyming. Good to see a(nother ) solution which subverts the tendency of the original.
