@Meta-Man until any of these fixes are put into effect, perhaps we should make it common practice to link to the CYLOR post somewhere in every halacha question, so it appears as a linked question. As a "from now on" idea - going back to do so would be unimaginably tedious. @IsaacMoses @Scimonster

@msh210 @MonicaCellio @DoubleAA @IsaacMoses is there any basic discussion I should see about recommending deletion before I ask a policy question on meta?

@YEZ I don't have anything particular to recommend, but you might want to try searching Mi Yodeya Meta and Meta Stack Exchange

@IsaacMoses OK I think my inquiry is more unique to Mi Yodeya than to MSE.

@YEZ Then by all means, search Mi Yodeya Meta, then post it there.

@YEZ there's a bit of guidance on deletion in the privileges help, here and here.

@YEZ This proposal (manual CYLOR links) could also go to Mi Yodeya Meta, BTW

@YEZ The question has been reopened, if you are still inclined to answer it

(didn't want to leave that comment directly under the question, to keep from creating tension between you and David)

@Shokhet My answer isn't an answer according to his new misunderstood original question.

yeesh how do I do crossout?

@YEZ <s></s>

@Shokhet or a third - did the trick too

@YEZ Just reread your comment....yeah, I guess that's true.....

@Shokhet in any event, he originally asked for advice, which I offered. He changed it to make it on topic (although he is in serious denial about that) so it no longer just asks for advice.

experimenting with crossouts

@YEZ Hey it works!

that worked quite well!

@YEZ You still might want to answer, anyway....or not, in case you've lost interest in dealing with him right now (which I would understand)

[this would be a very inopportune time for David to discover chat.....]

@Shokhet He's never heard of eating pizza, I don't think he'll be discovering chat any time soon.

Anyway, do what you will.....I gtg, might be back later.

@YEZ How'd you figure that?

@Shokhet he said so himself in a now deleted comment.

@YEZ huh.

@Shokhet [Don't write anything here that would be problematic if publicized]

I dunno.....

@IsaacMoses I know, just sometimes forget

even though what's here now isn't any worse than what's written in the comments by his question

@YEZ @IsaacMoses I understand why this was declined, but it would be useful precisely for situations like these

@Shokhet I happen to have maxed out my rep for today, and have no interest in answering him לשמה. So it'll at least wait another 3 hours if I decide to do so.

@Shokhet "No yichud" is a feature, not a bug. Current events underscore this point.

@YEZ Hah.

@IsaacMoses Hm....hadn't thought about that before. Makes sense.

@IsaacMoses Do you mean current events on this site or in your hometown?

@IsaacMoses To which "current events" do you refer?

@YEZ The latter, which is also current events in the Jewish world.

@IsaacMoses Indeed.

@IsaacMoses If I don't know about it already, do I want to know?

@Shokhet Do you have a Sefer Kinot and a box of tissues handy?

@IsaacMoses ......no.

@Shokhet Then no.

@IsaacMoses Aight then.

Anyway, really gtg now....ttfn!
