"Paul - as the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team, in the above editing comment - first inserted in the long-running thread that he closed - is making no secret of this attempt and special treatment - perhaps you may wish to reconsider?"

No.

Well the answer may may little logical sense given the circumstances and be flying in the face of the facts, but I can respect that it is the answer you have provided. You have not ignored my question - just made it clear that you have not accepted it.

Unlike Bill D - who has just ignored the following questions.

Do you judge that editing comments of that sort are required, belong and make sense ONLY where they are inserted into my posts? If censorship must take place - why do you consider that does not then make sense to place all editing comments where they belong?

This where any form of imposed action has be judged to be required and to enable all poster to make an informed judgement on the true nature and level of censorship on our forum.

Why do you consider one to be good idea and the other to be bad one?
