Revenge is a dish best served cold, and interofficed in a manila envelope.
Post 218540 by Admiral Haddock deleted for the following reason: I know that this is a really rarely-used "you can't do this on AskMe" clause, but revenge questions aren't okay. They spin out of control too quickly and go sideways. If you can find a way to phrase this in a way that isn't so revenge-y we could maybe work with you, let us know. -- jessamyn
