I don't know what Cuthbert's reason was, but not all actions can be explained by a practical purpose. Maybe it feels like some kind of closure or something. I'm sad he's left but I hope it was a good desicion for him

Ah man! The only other Aston Villa supporter! Now I'm alone.

I'm an Aston Martin supporter, if it's any consolation.

Shaken, I assume, not stirred?

Huh? You lost me. I don't shake or stir my cars, generally.

Oops.

I forgot, he popularized the brand, didn't he? My bad, I'll admit I'm not a big Bond fan. I've only seen the Daniel Craig ones.

I requested a (temp) ban when I was in the very last months of my masters thesis. I just wanted to remove distractions that might keep me from working.

Yeah, thought that would have been self-evident. I'm no Bond fan either (I think I've seen "Diamonds are Forever", "Goldfinger" and maybe "Moonraker") but I thought everyone knew that he drove one, and as you say, probably few people knew about the car until it featured in his movies.

I actually don't get that. I took one and two-year breaks from here over my time here, and I never needed a ban to stop me going back. When I wanted to make the break, I made it, and when I felt I needed to go back or was being drawn back or (god help me) missed the place, I went back. I guess some people have less self-control than others. (I can quit this place any time, honestly! I just... don't want to.)

i) someone applied for a job that involved "vetting" like they might do for the military, and this person wanted to delete everything to do with MB
ii) what I consider sadder, and more sinister, was a person who was worried about their parents and/or church discovering their online self.

Not saying that any of the above apply to Cuthbert. My guess is that in his case it's out of remorse and self-loathing after posting anti-Biden propaganda
(That's a joke, Cuthbert, if you are still lurking. I'm sorry you have left us, and I won't forget the chats we've had over the years: especially your invention of an Architecture Thread, for which I am very grateful.)

I hope Joe Biden doesn't drone strike Cuthbert. Be on high alert Cuthbert! Don't carry any containers filled with water ... like canteens, thermoses, or sports bottles.
