Yes, this forum (Feedback and Announcements) is the place where bug reports should be posted.DaveE said:BTW, is this where bug reports go? It seems kind of public for a subject that no one would care about.

DaveE said:I think you are misunderstanding what people are saying when they talk about unit circles. This is a definition, there is no inherent reason for it. It's just a different way of saying r=1 (because it's so common, it has a name).
I think this is the same as asking why does a circle with radius =13 have radius =13? They've just used different words for r=1.

yes, that was the one. This is more like a bug report than a request to delete. As I said, I really don't care either way about the post.berkeman said:This post?
I've since noticed that some forums have a delete option, others don't. Perhaps that's intentional.

Yes, it is intentional. Also the edit function is often limited to a grace period. Sadly, people tend to abuse these tools by removing things after they sparked discussion.
