Hi Franz, what if that has happend by an error? What if one has tried to get that posting deleted? What if such a deleting request would not have been followed? Does that change anything on the wrong situation, having not approved links there? As I have written, the involved people are grown ups and should be able to clear up that situation without such a kindergarden behavior. And it for sure would not help to escalate the conflict by involving laywers or banning people until finally the next 'nuclear war' will start. Reinhard.
