Thanks for the input so far but I'm not very enlightened. I got the pic that MartinGibson was some kinda lightning rod but being new and all how ya supposed to know that?? And as I said he was polite to me and I agreed with the one thread I started with here that he posted on--one of my fav groups from back when so I gave him a tip o' the hat thats all. Like I said if my thread title got someone ticked it wasnt some calculated thing on my part y'know? I said I dont react much to being name-called or whatever as it is after all cyber space. But if I see this thread is gone tomorrow I'm gonna get real suspicious. Im on a coupla forums so I know about the way things work and usually if something is erased or whatever whoever did it for whatever reason usually says why it got deleted. Guess that's whats got me wonderin'. Not sayin' Im leaving---just asking a question thats all.
