Fact is, no one took me up on it. No one ever named a thread they wanted an article deleted from. So I didn't delete anything. I concluded that the whole controversy is much ado about nothing.

I would suggest that all instances of posters complaining about the posts of their fellow posters should be thought to be much ado about nothing as they should be informed that the only postings that anyone has any control over - is their own. The idea that one poster may judge another's to be 'obnoxious' should be seen as a opinion - not as justification for imposed editing action.

Meanwhile as a result of recent crashes - many interesting older threads are still messed-up and the posts contained in them are still remain out of sequence.

Perhaps setting our unknown numbers of volunteer fellow posters to work on this task may be more useful to our forum than having them sitting around waiting to judge and impose their anonymous judgement upon their fellow posters for the slightest excuse?
