A simple PM could have made a big difference and possibly prevented this whole controversy.

I entirely agree with this point but the issue still rather turns on the factor of our volunteers wishing to be and permitted to be anonymous. For it would hardly be possible for an anonymous volunteer to remain anonymous - if they sent a PM to the thread's orgriginator.

I really cannot have any personal squabble with someone whose identity remains unknown to me - but does anyone really consider that the anonymous volunteer who insisted is so quickly imposing this particular change to this thread title - was entirely unaware that their action may cause controversy?
