You know, I agree with you, and yet I disagree at the same time. I found it a
neat thing finding the whole thread disappearing without even a puff of smoke.

Not to fire off an endless discussion, but...
...OTOH it shouldn't be like the pictures from the old Sovjet Union, where
people where cut away without a word, sometimes only there shadows remaining :)

It's no problem to have spam or abuse aboard, to deal with it, to wipe it, and
to indicate openly that it has been wiped, and why. It's always good for
everyone to know how "the judicial system" in an open community works, even if
it's in such a simple place like a message board as this.
