Missing Blogs- Question for admin of CR4

02/05/2009 12:39 AM

A very hot topic on tea bags for which I have been contributing seems to have gone missing without a trace. Just wondered whether as administrators you found it too hot to make public!

Can you please clarify?

You are correct Sisira, it seems to have disappeared. History links suggest it has been removed or not-linked at present. Don't panic I am sure they will find it.

Similar thing happened in another blog sometime back. As I mentioned in the tea bag blog, a person tried to feed me surreptitiously with information on how to make dynamite, putting my life in danger in another previous blog. I was not stupid and pointed out the danger he was causing as an unsuspecting person may come across the blog and assume it as genuine advice.

The guy did not have the decency to even apologize after I protested against his irresponsible behaviour and the blog just disappeared. may be the administrators of CR4 realised the danger and removed it.

We are all (may be most) here to share our knowledge and help each other, but I could not understand how one could go to such low levels of a dirty joke!

It has been removed. If you were to look at the profile of the original poster, Ajay2121988, you will notice that he has 25 posts, but only 20 are listed. The most likely reason for the removal was as Bricktop put it: unscrupulous people may make use of the information on his thread on waterproof teabags to carry out smuggling. I myself had a posting on ridiculous laws removed because I gave a hint as to how commonly-found household items can have the potential to be misused, and how ridiculous it is to enforce against possession of such items simply because of a few irresponsible morons.

Most unsettling. A magnitude of depravity as never before. All barbaric savages with no hope of reincarnation.

Duckinthepond conducted himself most magnificently. More should follow his example.

Very well guest, why not be a gent and take out your mask?

"Duckinthepond conducted himself most magnificently". Can you explain what you mean? Where and on what?

There are many who conduct magnificently in CR4 sharing their knowledge. I am sure you must be having some very good reason to single out DIP!

(Guest, you are not Duckinthepond, are you?)..!!!!!

Greetings Sisira

A joke here and there keeps the blues (depressing things) away.

The way the question was asked in the removed blog was, in my opinion, incorrect and open to misunderstanding. There were those who attempted an answer but received little or no response from the poster. Worse, they received no recognition.

The two dimensionality of the written word is difficult to understand from anothers perspective. Urdu (I take it you speak Urdu or Sinhalese) is a language of sympathetic cognizance. English is more direct.

You ain't kiddin. My wonderous, and well intended, elaboration on porosity and permeability is lost forever. Presumably several dozen GA points went with it.. Before I had a chance to go back with a marvelous explanation of what the OP might have intended, the whole lot was gone. If anyone would like to buy loose tea in bulk, and some dessicating sachets for packing goods, please apply below. I will not elaborate on the semi-permeable tea bag membrane construction, for fear of misconstrue and deletion. Typhoo will probably take out a hit on me anyway.

when you buy tea (in loose form or in tea bags) please buy Ceylon Tea made in Sri Lanka. May I suggest you try Earl Gray to start with. Chai is no good. No aroma, too much milk & sugar!

Uh oh....this is getting decidedly dangerous. You are telling an Englishman how to drink his tea. That's enough to bring Churchill back to life!

This is an impermeable layer with them.

I enjoy Earl Gray occasionally, though it's a bit of an acquired taste. Oil of Begamot I think. Does it originate in Sri Lanka ? I have to confess to also liking the smokey flavour which, from the name, I guess is Chinese in origin. In general I prefer coffee, though you raise a good issue about supporting growers in other countries (rather than helping big corporations make profit).

Well said on your conciliatory post below. There are probably other factors in the pulling of the original thread that I'm not aware of, since there were about 10 comments I hadn't caught up with. Perhaps the OP will return and clarify. I think this very thread is being studied as I type. Hopefully the matter will soon be laid to rest.

Hey.......how come your Typhoo tea is way better than the Typhoo tea we get here?

My wife is forever raging on about the lousy tea we have in Canada.

No.....it's my spelling....used to be a triple-o, but got busted back to plain old double. M says I can have it back if I get between the old man and the Governor. I've said too much already, they'll have triangulated my position by now and sent agent Tempest to ki..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

I agree with you. I still think it was misunderstood because of difference in language. I speak Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. Ajay from his name, I believe is Indian and speak Urdu, which I believe is one of the reasons for his incomplete post. If you read the original post carefully perhaps you would note (at least that is the way I interpreted it) that he was trying to make material which is used to make tea bags non permeable, and not the bags of tea permeable.

I too happen to have this knack of fighting for the underdog!

In a way it is good that the blog was taken out as otherwise it would have created more conflicts and hurt feelings than provide answers to original post. Now we all can sit back and have a good laugh.

I understand you all are having one of the worst winters these days.

Have a good day. I assume it must be morning there. Here in sri Lanka it is 1030pm now!
