On second thought,. never mind. That link seems odd to me.
(The Internet has some really strange sites that look legitimate at first )

But I feel ashamed about inadvertently posting a bogus link. Don;'t tell me to have my eyes checked. I just did. New prescriptions will soon follow.

Not at all. Thanks for the heads-up. Removing it was no problem.
And yes, I've yikesed myself for similar reasons. Ask Tavaron about the Horrible Incident with the moussaka.

Photos of moussaka can be even worse if the person who posted them put in an x-rated redirect in order to discourage linking.

Yes, but it had half a dozen h2g2ers mad at *me*, because I couldn't see the redirect and didn't know what they were talking about.
Also, the BBC was still running the site, and they were afraid we'd get in trouble.

I might have misread "moussaka," thinking it was "Moustafa," which would have gotten me into quite a different type of trouble.

I own a music box that plays 'Moustafa'. I inherited it from my father, who received it as a thank-you gift from an Egyptian colleague at his engineering firm.
