You have a mindset that a suspicion is a personal attack. I can't change that. I have seen actual personal attacks on this forum which have gone without being deleted. If all it takes to get a post deleted is to complain about it then so be it. I have no reason to "be very careful" what I post here. Since anything the moderators don't like will be deleted anyway. If you want to ban me from here I don't care. I was kicked off ICC for providing the customers with a needed service but the operators there were not smart enough to see it. I'm still surviving without ICC and I can survive without this forum. Do what you have to do. Jim
