All rights reserved. The content of your post seems fine to me. My guess would be that it was deleted because a moderator asked that there be no follow-up posts, and the post appears to be a reply to that post. However, it seems to me that there is no essential difference between hitting reply and entering your comments, or starting a new thread, quoting the part that you did, and entering your comments, so in my eyes, removing the post wasn't justified. Once deleted, can posts be restored? I presume any one moderator is able to delete a post. Dave
