We can go deep (low?)...
I always believed, that if you do not attribute anyone with uniqueness, just because one is human being, you do a big mistake...At that very point you will compare your kids one with the other and do damage them...At that very point you will throw the old out of the society into a safe-house as burden...and so on...
The idea (deed) becomes unique just because you do it - because you are unique...

No, just because you, as a person, are unique, doesn't make your idea unique, necessarily.
Example: I am a unique person. I want to build a tire. Obviously, the idea/thought is not unique. However, the implementation, could be. Example: I would like to build a tire out of moldy swiss cheese.
If you look at humans from a high-level, we are not unique from each other, thus, everything is relative.

I think you mix the idea (making a tire), the deed (actually doing it) and the product (the tire)...
In this chain both the idea and the product are external and not excepted to be unique, but the deed is unique in any case (not matter how it done), just because you did it and you are unique...

Ok, if you say so.

I only think so - and even that not sure...

Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

You are totally and utterly unique.
Just like everyone else.

My goodness, what will they think up next?

I take it you didn't follow the link?
Whoever removed the post didn't follow the link either or does not understand satire - it was a satirical site pointing out that your own personal pc can be used as your'cloud' backup service.
[Edit]
Turns out that it was spam, see my recent post[^] - my mistake

Why should I? If OP meant to post a joke it would be labeled that way!

The whole point of satire is that one does not point out that it is a joke - that's what makes something satirical.

So you follow every link presented to you online? Hmmm... Very interesting...

Just joined last week and first post a link to an external site with what appears to be spam? Not a great start and just asking to be nuked - and yes, I'm one of those who voted spam on the account and post.

But to be honest I can understand those who did report the post - it had all the signs of a stupid spam...
I tried to stop reporting the member, but was too late... Fortunately we can fix it, by asking the staff the reverse history...

Those two are follow almost automatically (and in case of a spammer rightfully) - in this case it was misinterpreted and for that I will ask to reinstall the member (what I would not do in case of real spammer)...

The problem is that marking a forum post as spam is also reporting the account.
I forget this sometimes like in this case.
