No, I don't. It's a personal rule of mine not to allow off-the-cuff remarks result in opening a spreadsheet.

Elsewhere, Mu Beta asked:
"Where's that thread where we moan at Jim Lynn to fix the search engine so we don't need threads like this?
B"
There are several. Here's a selection, they go back a while! Some are about the search facility in general, others are about the specific conversation search problem.
October 04 "Problems with h2g2 search function?" F28171?thread=510342
October 04 "Search still not working": F48000?thread=510347 (which Jim Lynn replied to)
March 2005 "Searching": F28171?thread=605206
September 2005 "My h2g2 search engine isn't working": F28171?thread=997266
October 2005 "When will the search engine work properly?" F615?thread=1168243
December 2005 "Search the conversation forums" F47996?thread=1683382
In August 05 "Search the Forums": F2269809?thread=746457
Jim Lynn revealed that the BBC used to pay an outside agency for a search facility but decided it couldn't afford it.
So, that will be 10€ please B.
Or 20€ if you want the thread that I think you mean.
July 07 "Conversation Search" F47996?thread=4410496 - started by Mu Beta, with a reply by Jim Lynn which is straight to the point.

Not current, as far as I know - that thread died a death some time ago.
In a very dignified way, of course.

I recall a conversation on Ask a good while ago about bullying. It was an adult talking about a young female relative (daughter or niece, I think) who was being bullied at school. The school wasn't doing anything about it, because of some 'non-exclusion' policy or something. (I'm rather vague, no?)
Actually, I vaguely recall that there were two convos active at the same time, with many of the same participants, but that might be just my brain going wrong again! (How bad will I be when I'm old enough to have real senior moments?)

Having found a thread about bullying it looks like you got there first TRiG, and it isn't the one you were thinking of anyway. However I'll post the link regardless in case it helps someone, and then I'll keep looking:

I located it through the Talking Point about Schools and Violence. A869169

OK...here's a tester.
I'm looking for a thread called 'most outrageous thing you've done at work', or words to that effect. Apparently it was started by someone I've now met in RL. 
Only thing we can remember about it is that the word 'outrageous' was possible mis-spelled at 'outragious'.
Any clues?
