It is particularly frustrating, to be sure, but does such a specified case really need a consolation prize? Can't you just go with a Gratuitous ribbon? Therefore Do not oppose leaning towards oppose --HiroProtagonist 21:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC) (P.S. What is the Potsdam datum???)
- Yes I could, but I know of at least two other people affected by this. One was hashing with me, the other one had it happening to him independently (and quite a while ago). Also, it is seriously meant to alleviate the frustration, should this happen to anyone else again, because I was very down after realizing it.
Oh, and the Potsdam datum is (as Ekorren put it) "one way of dealing with the fact that the earth is not a perfect sphere", just not the customary one for modern-day applications.

On the other hand, any gratuitous ribbon claimed by three people already deserves maybe a bit of an explicit definition. Tis a dno for me. --relet
