While I appreciate the way CCC is moderated, the fact that post deletion is done completely "behind the curtains" is still a constant concern for me. Further, from time to time a guy stands up and pretends that some posts of his have been deleted. Each time this spread some suspicion on the moderation work, which is unfair. I know we are not in a hurry for this, but I would really like to see something like a mailing list or a link somewhere on CCC where I can find the list of deleted messages. I don't suggest to have the body of header of the message (this would be a too good opportunity for the trouble makers), but just the date/time, name of poster, and name of moderator(s) would deleted the message. Just a line for each deleted message. That would be enough to get rid of this "dark side of the moon". Christophe
