Backwoodsman, as it see it there are several reasons why moderators will not usually provide explanations for individual deletions. First, there aren't enough of them to keep up with the forum ratbags. Second, they are volunteers, not forum careerists. Third, and most importantly, when they do give their reasons they get drawn into meta-squabbles with those who take umbrage with them and this ends up in exchanges of long PMs as well as a load of pointless back-and-forth on the forum. Life's too short as it is. There's a lot I don't get about the attitude of mods here at times, but I do get that much. I mean, how important is it really if your post gets trashed? I've had tons of mine consigned to the bin but I just shrug and get on with life. Best bet.

And Keith, we've been here before, haven't we. Stop being ridiculous.
