See, Shambles, the editing action has been recorded in these words: This thread has been deleted

If this recording is to be the case in the future for all such deletions - it is a welcome start.

But I trust you will accept - that this case is the exeception rather than the rule?

And the fact that this deletion was recorded, was only due to the fact that some unknown person had already closed that thread and there was a link provided to it in this thread.      

Otherwise that thread would sadly have joined the every growing list of what are described as 'silent deletions'.
