 Motivated forgetting in many a case.

 Nope. 
 ORFNUGEN6 was a poster to news.groups a couple of years ago who 
 had a problem with the moderation of soc.history.moderated.  And 
 then he had a problem with the fact that there was nothing to be 
 done regarding the moderation of s.h.m. 
  
 And since we talking golden oldies I thought I'd drag an old .sig 
 out and it was either that one or this one.
