Do you really think that the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team would judge that he would now need your permission to do exactly as he wants, to yours or anyone else's contrubution? But you seened to have overlooked the fact that you gave permission in advance for him to delete this thread - not for him to rename it.

He doesn't need my permission at all. Being me though, and knowing what the rules are on Mudcat, I thought some initial comment to Joe was relevant (and polite) - this comment being on the theme of "yes I know the rules, but this is at the subject's explicit request, but even so if you delete it then I'll fully understand".

And, in case you haven't noticed, you still haven't answered the question in my very first post. The only answer I've interpreted from your posts so far, is: "I'm staying around and continuing with my complaining, regardless of two years of answers from Max and Joe saying that my complaints will *never* be acted on and that I am making a nuisance of yourself, until Max decides to permanently ban me from the site". If this is your considered opinion, then I guess we know where we stand. If your position is something different and I'm misinterpreting you, then let's hear it. If I'm misinterpreting your position then I will apologise, but that only holds *if and only if* you can tell us your position on the question: "Why are you still here?"
