Deleting posts is different from deleting people or establishing major policy.
This happened at 11:00 P.M. eastern.  I deleted the post rather than send email
and go to bed.  I figured that by this morning I'd have several angry emails in
my inbox.

The post was clearly off topic, and it was clearly going to cause a needless
controversy.

Nobody would have known about this if Fernando had chosen to work this out via
email rather than self-immolating in the  middle of an interesection.
