I agree with Murat. We should all lighten up on this. Last year I had a post deleted, presumably after a complaint from a certain member. It was, IMHO, a humorous post that welcomed back Bob Hyatt after an absence. I was skocked to find it deleted because it was apprently "offensive". I still don't know what was wrong with it, apart from a dig at lawyers! Perhaps the moderator who deleted it may wish to comment on it? I support Steve and Ferd in their funny, but off-topic, posts here. If I get tired of the banter, I just stop reading the posts. Isn't this a simple solution? John
