People discussed things, some things were worked out. There was no mistake made, that's how a forum should work. People not discussing anything, and moderators deleting everything just to make the forum a safer place is not what a forum is about. And just because someone sends a moderator email or _now_ says "told you so" is not a reason to delete something. Pete
