Don't just delete the content!!!
Whaddya thinking?
That's how NASTY rumors get started. :s
If there was something the message that was wrong or stupid, then say it was wrong or stupid. At this point, all I can assume is that there is a class action suit against Spyderco! If that is wrong, then there should be either a retraction in the thread, or the thread should be deleted in its entirety: No subject, no thread, no rumor, nothing.

My God - I was waiting for an answer to this post for what seems like eternity - and then realized nobody understands my sense of humor and tried to delete it.
Its hard enough to post something you think is funny and be ridiculed for - but it is allot harder not to get any response at all!!
So - after I failed to delete it - I figured - if no one is reading it - then no one will care if I erase it all.
Then you guys came along...
The original post was something like that:
After having dinner and some wine I finally showed my wife the new spyderench I got (which is an amazing gizmo unlike anything I had the pleasure to have before).
My wife said this spyderco company keeps making those wickedly beautiful products so suckers like me will go on buying them even though we have more knives then we will ever need (this is the part I didn't understand..)
She suggested all the wives would file a class action against Spyderco.
Well - as long as I am the lawyer in this house - no such thing shall happen.
That is, as long as Sal and company will continue to make us these beautiful creatures...
Sorry if this upsets anyone.

Heck, I thought the original post should have stayed. Lord knows my wife probably thought such evil thoughts at one time or another. Until she needed a knife, anyways, and reached into her purse for her own Spydie.

Blilious, I am very sorry for the tone that my post took. I had intended the tone to be ridiculously abusive and angry at the beginning (for some humor effect -- yeah right
Live and learn. Hopefully I will live long, because it is obvious I have a lot more learning to do.

Blilious-I think you failed to see how a topic (in a manufacturer`s forum) containing the phrase "class action suit" needs SOME explaination! If it was a joke, your topic NEEDS the context of your post to be seen as a joke. Otherwise, you leave the impression that there`s some sort of legal action going on against Spyderco. That`s not your typical, lightweight, harmless rumor. You could have just deleted your entry and put "Sorry, joke gone south.." or something....ANYTHING!
Seriously, we need to think before we post, and think TWICE before we delete! This is a public forum. Lot`s of folks will be reading what we write here. Post responsibly.

Steve B. - point taken - thank you very much.
It was a joke and it was meant in the best intention - but as you can see - it went south (all the way to the South Pole)
I'll think harder before posting anything like that in the future.
I said it before and I'll say it again - I'm sorry and I apologize for the whole thing.

For the record. There are NO suits in action against Spyderco at this time. High class or low class.

Ryan,
My original intention was to make people laugh, get them to react and tell how their spouse is looking at this expensive addiction of ours (sorry - "recreational hobby")
It turned out lousy - mainly because I did not have the patience to wait for reaction and in my ignorance to the outcome deleted the post while leaving the subject.
I regret that, and hope to be wiser in the future.
