Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

..."best of our knowledge, as far as we know this had never been reported before, though I can't possible read all the published journals on earth, but by perform thorough search in google, the keywords did not match any documents"...

because there's a time limit for editing and deleting a post, I think...perhaps 1 to 2 days post-posting (or we can try to find out here with this post)...:) and probably only the great panda, the admin and the mods can do something to it afterwards....
