I vouched as well, but it's [flagged][dead] not just [dead] which is usually the result of user moderation, not the mods or auto moderation (which typically will just render as [dead] in either case). Which was odd because it was [flagged][dead] by the time it was 4 minutes old (maybe earlier, that's just when I saw it).

I am just hoping and praying somebody will post something about Bakelite. Hold my beer!

Oh shit, I just missed a Bakelite discussion 17 days ago!

But there's a comment from 9 days ago that's still replyable. ;)
