Well... just to clarify Atheist's accurate but somewhat obscure reply ... :-)

HHGttG is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a science fiction series written by Doug Adams. 42 is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything that the supercomputer, named Deep Thought, spit out after 7.5 millions years. (Note that we don't know what the Ultimate Question is till later).

Let's see if this gets in

Let's see if this gets in under the wire. I've spent more than a quarter-century editing other people's copy, and the best advice I can give any editor/moderator/ administrator is to think at least three, four times before altering anyone else's words. You can best encourage respect for others by showing respect for others.

mud wrestling rematches

Ahh, yess, mud wrestling. I am put in mind of a member of the Sweet Little Mud Pies, a ladies' wrestling troupe from Alaska, yess, with whom I had a delightful encounter while on a continuing education weekend in Reno....How good of you to trip that set of neurons.

It's from the HHGttG. The answer to the question to life, the universe, and everything is 42. The question is finally revealed (in one version of the story) to be "what is 6 x 9?" (And yes, we know…)

42.:-)

Jolly, Ramona, et al - are a bit hard on Resistance

I would tend to agree. However, he is also a big boy who can take care of himself. Just saying so that others know everyone's definition of troll is not the same. And actually, if it were my website, I might ask him to try to stop at the 6th or 7th reply. A site that's a workshop for one person trying refinements of his argument against one other person ad infinitum isn't of much interest to me, unless they kept it to one thread (fwhere those who like mud wrestling rematches without end could visit.)

Related to your other comments I would only like to say that I think the currently in vogue method of moderation practiced by Disquis and HuffPo and the like, of just deleting comments, isn't of much use at all except in cases of some repeat offender that everyone knows is a problem. If moderators don't leave the entire readership an idea of what was considered unacceptable, they are just spinning their wheels.

In reply to Where's the fish? They told

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

"Six by nine. Forty two.
That's it. That's all there is.
I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe."
