I suppose that if I use my 'favourite' word to describe Greggy-Weggy the I'd end up upping my deleted message total?

Why? He's a big boy, he can handle a few vulgar epithets... particularly given that your own username nearly qualifies as one to begin with!

I think people are taking this whole "deletion spree" thing much too seriously. And as for the posts that actually get deleted, just try to think of them as "keyboarding practice."
