I feel a bit guilty about this because it may have something to do with a tongue in cheek post I made a few days ago, on the "impacted earwax" thread. My "home remedy" was WD-40 after supposedly having set fire to my hair with an ear candle that someone else had recommended. I said that it removed earwax and put a nice shine on my now supposedly bald head....
A number of posts were removed almost immediately (all references to ear candles and WD-40).
I notice now the forum is back but with a "health warning" header.
The mods may have been prompted into having a bit of a cleanup. Public liability worries and all that.
P.S. Please don't squirt WD-40 into your ears, I was only joking. Anyone who uses a remedy posted on a public website without seeking professional advice is not too bright.
