I think if you ask to be removed, you should be removed in less than a shake of a lamb's tail.

There are some forums where, if you ask to be removed, they warn you that all traces of your existence will be removed (other than quoted posts, I assume) - that's the way I would want it done to me if I made such a request.

Having said all that, I have never asked to be removed from a forum - even the incredibly stupid ones that I should never have joined.

Nothing against Bob, although I am on a detox diet that doesn't allow sausage.

This reminds me of the old Yakov Smirnoff joke from the '80's: "Comedy is different in USSR. In USSR, if you say "Take my wife, please", you come home, she is gone"...

Why would anyone "banish" themselves when all you have to do is not participate. Unless you want to draw more attention to themselves. Hmmm

What is the timing difference between one versus two shakes of a lamb's tail

10 nanoseconds. No, seriously, it is.

[ALR-bishop]

I agree with you on two, but he said one. Is that 5 nanos ?

I realize some may think this off topic, but it does relate to the timing of self initiated deletions

[vintagetoppsguy]

In "Two Shakes of a lamb's tail" a shake is not a verb, but a unit of measurement equaling 10 nanoseconds. So, two shakes would equal 20 nanoseconds. At least that's my understanding.

I heard Uma Thurman say "Two shakes of a lamb's tail" in 'Pulp Fiction', and figured Uma wouldn't need to shake anything more than once to get what she needed.
