At least four that I know of. Plus the three deleted threads and god knows how many edited messages.

MMario - As you didn't seem to mind these impositions - we can assume that you would have also readily and speedily agreed to these - had you been consulted and asked first. A process that would have not proved too 'cumberssome' or have inconvenienced any of our volunteer fellow posters. I trust you accept that other posters may see this imposition and its manner - in a less charitable light than you appear to and be upset by it? Are they not entitled to hold and evidence a different view on our forum - without being subject to personal judgement and abuse?

Roger - the request, which is for an alteration in established procedure - *IS* a complaint.

Established long-term procedure is that (wherever possible) poster's contibutions remain as posted. A suggestion to return to this principle - when it seems to be forgotten - should be seen in that light.

A suggestion or reasoned and evidenced request for any change could be - in a more reasoned climate - seen as an attempt at improvement to 'established' procedure. Are you suggesting that current procedure as practiced and imposed upon us by our unknown numbers of anonymous fellow posters - is perfect and incapable of being improved on?
