I think that this is fair, but I hope that you're bottom line here is that I did some evil thing by deleting that post. I've heard three arguments against deleting that post: 1) The content was fine. 2) The poster is protected because he's a moderator. 3) The deletion process was not proper. I haven't heard anyone argue the first argument. I agree that I walked into the second argument, and perhaps I could have avoided this. But I didn't want to let that post sit all night and I'm not sure how I could have avoided doing this. The third argument is one that you seem to have been using. This is just a minor detail in my opinion. There has been email amongst the three of us as to how to handle post deletions, but it is true that we don't have a specific policy. I think people should just try to write good posts. I don't like deleting posts, and I probably won't be in favor of deleting posts where people are at least trying to be relatively sane. bruce
