Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

There should be a short quiz when you sign up for an account here, including the question:

True of False: Mozart is a fraud

If they answer "true", they are not allowed.  $:)

There should be at least one other:

"God" is spelled with "o" in the middle, true or false?

I wonder if Alfred E Neuman's account has also been deleted, or if Bob will come back.  It seemed too easy.

I do wonder when that book will come out.

Todd, I checked that one out right at the start. AEN has an ISP in the USA. Robert's was in the UK.

I think Robert left in order to spend more time with his book, commendable really.

Quite right. He'll be rereading for the zillionth time his book (i.e, the only one he owns): the one by Trombetta and Banchini.

David Ross,

If you had a shred of common sense, decency or honour you would agree Mozart has always been a cultural fraud, a packet of lies, designed for the gullible, fed to the fraternities, pumped in gallons to the credulous, the infiltration of musicology by hoodlums and part of the dumbing down of generations. Whose equivalent is found in banking, finance, politics and every other sphere of the modern, dumbed down society. 33 complaints later and dozens of baby pictures later this is clearer now than when we first began.

I do resign my account. Because I believe and know that others are far more worthy of truth and reality than you.

R.E. Newman

Gosh.  I'm so ashamed.  :-[   Now where will we turn to find "truth and reality?"  I hope you all will forgive me.

I forgive you David.

OK, solid work by all. I'm going to lock this up now, I don't see a need for it any longer. I won't delete it though, if anyone wants to go back and relive it, all they have to do is hunt it up. I wouldn't feel too sorry for Robert, there are still fora out there that haven't seen the light yet, the Internet is a vast wasteland, always room for more waste... :)
