If there is a mention of Mudcat in anyway, I think they get deleted pretty swiftly.....

I believe this statement to be untrue. Could BTNG cite any concrete examples of this?

Surely if this were the case then a posting which criticises fRoots posters for their attitude towards Mudcat would be removed pretty quickly? Yet my post - the third one in the thread at http://froots.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6281 from October 13th remains in place.
