Whatever happened to the doodad thread?

Did it just die out or did it get too big to handle?

This is really for Bruce to respond to
But a precis is: he was called on the amount of space it took up
He had to step out for a while for his own reasons, and took the thread with him

Sadly, the person who raised the objection (when no-one else did) is gone
and many are left mourning the doodads

Huh? I thought it was accidentally deleted when some of the pictures from it were deleted by Bruce.

Well, the only thing to do is to go over to Bruce's house, photograph the entire collection, and create a PDF catalog.

We will of course include Buster and the rest of the Cellar, but I think Bruce dominated the category.

Bruce reminds me of the "Gather Ye Acorns" episode of Amazing Stories, where a 'fairy?' tells Mark Hamil's character to collect stuff he likes.

I wonder if Bruce knows any elves?

The right elf could do it by herself.

It's not really a space problem. xoB had good reasons to do what he did and they are private reasons by necessity. Since then we have kinda said we are only removing a handful of posts for those who want/need them removed.

I'm sorry to being it up then. I thought it was a space/bandwidth issue. Nothing has been posted recently, so I thought the entire thread was wiped.

@ elspode. I can't tell. I tried to look up the names in the picture url and the caption on the photo but nothing conclusive comes up.

Frank Oz
