Originally posted by Shallow Blue-sorry, mispost. Anyone; how does one delete a post made by accident? I haven't worked that out yet.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueWhat do you mean by pseudo moon? If it a pile of rock a mile or two in diameter, couple of Km, it is a pretty big rock, the size of a respectable mountain. What do you mean by pseudo? Humy, I think you have to ask a mod to remove a post. Don't quote me on that however🙂

Originally posted by Shallow BlueAs with the term "planet," I think a more rigorous definition for what constitutes a "moon" is in order. Once we get down to the size of a double-wide trailer it's not a moon.

Edit the post by inserting an F-bomb. The nanny-filter will delete it forthwith.
I first posted "you mean " without the F-bomb to simulate an accidental post and then tried to re-edit it just by appending the f-bomb to that and the nanny-filter deleted the re-edited version but not the original which stayed put so unfortunately that wouldn't have worked. Nice try though.
Originally posted by sonhouseNot sure but I think he means a rock or object that is mistakenly assumed to be orbiting a planet because it is seen very close to it but is in fact orbiting the sun or just passing the planet by and is not in a stable orbit around the planet.

Originally posted by humyAh. I now seem to recall that in the early days I had to repeat the process two or three times before the filter simply deleted the post for good, but then there came a point when just one go would turn the trick forever after. It works for me. I've done it dozens of times. But I guess you have to piss the nanny off first.

If you still have no success I shall submit another theory.
