Jay,
We dug up your post and sent it to the moderators. I may
be wrong, but I believe they asked to have a whole thread
removed so that other posts in the same thread - commenting
about the correctness or incorrectness of the thread - do not
then sprout further unwanted conversation. What I just
wrote does not seem crystal clear now that I have reread it,
but I hope you get the drift.
- Steve
