| Removal | If you wrote something quoted on this page and want it gone, one email to [email protected] does it. The removal path takes the quote, the handle and the link off this page, out of the feeds and out of the llms.txt within 24 hours, and tombstones the id so the entry cannot quietly return at a new address. |
