In both, the moderator who deleted the threads felt that the other posts in the thread didn't have a purpose out of context of the targeted deleted posts, so they removed the others as well. All of those people were sent email saying that their post was deleted for this reason, and that they shouldn't think we were displeased with their post. The moderator "interface" for deleting posts hasn't changed (significantly, at any rate) since you were doing it. Dave
