Amos said: Hard lessons from poetry class: Speech is free unless it's critical At least I think it was Amos and not part of the 'cut and paste'. I feel that this statement does seem a little ironic, on this forum.

Perhaps we just think for a moment and decide why the 'cut and paste' in the first post linked to here, caused the subject of the following thread to be automatically deleted by, and this action defended by some still unknown 'Guest' (and many others)?

There appears to be a hard and fast rule that the 'cutting and pasting' of non-original material can and will be deleted by our unknown volunteers. Perhaps it can be explained how and why this thread (and the original one) which was started by a big 'cut and paste', was not deleted also, and why Amos's latest 'cut and paste' contribution, is not also automatically deleted?
