Coincidentally, a few days ago I was chatting with someone (who I'd not seen for about 30 years!) who knows him. Had included Voyager's Voyager in a book (its previous owner was quite famous in the motoring world).

We end up only torturing ourselves.

I expect those guys got loads of reports, which tired the moderators out.
