I got my first metafilter post deleted. “This post was deleted for the following reason: A little less dada and a little more good links next time, please.—cortex”

Here’s the original:

On February 6, 1933, the 20th amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect creating the holiday. Now you can make a donation. Listen to the podcast (or this one). Listen to the song (or the second song down on this page). Read the comic. Buy a book. Buy the mug. Buy the cat toy. There’s also Drosophila (of course). You can sign up for the 2009 triathlon.  And if you don’t like how Mirriam-Webster defines the term, then take your own crack at it. Or get out your screen cleaner and watch the Hot for Words babe explain it.

Oh yeah, tasty too. And something about this guy (but hurry, that page will be updating soon!).

I guess I got too cutesy or clever. Oh well. You can see it on meta if you want.

It was only my sixth post to the front page, so I don’t feel too badly. I’d had a question deleted once, but that was fair. I’m not arguing the deletion of this post was unfair either, but I’m still going to beat up cortex next time I’m in Oregon.
