Thread Name: BS: Opening threads - a debate.
Subject: RE: BS: Opening threads - a debate.
See? Now we have something to debate! OK, Joe himself said that a "PEL tag" was added to the threads so that others would know what the thread contained. I for one appreciate that because as I said before, sometimes I don't have a lot of time and I like to know what I am getting into before I open teh thread. To me, that is a reasonable thing to do not to mention helpful. As far as the editing of the threads goes, it is my understanding that the clones took lengthy posts that were posted in several threads and consolidated them into one. This is also reasonable in my opinion because if someone was going to read all of the PEL threads why would they want to read the message over and over. what is the purpose behind putting it in so many threads? No post was deleted unless it was a duplicate of a post in another thread. He explained that it was due to the duplication and always left one post in there. If he was editing out your opinions, wouldn't he have deleted them all?
