That's an important point-- there are some things that hold sentimental attachment. I'd hate to delete anything like that. Abnd deleting whole threads is a rarity here.

When I delete a single posting, it is because the content of the posting is 1) off topic and 2) meant to antagonize. I don't think I will be doing any sprucing in the Community section. But here;s something to consider...

You might notice that some topics, started by me in early 2002, are being continued here. That's because I looked over the topics and found I had more to say. Recently, Gwen's (G42) "Psychology" thread was brought back to life-- by a newbie, natch, who hadn't seen the topic before and found something interesting to say.

The best way to keep a thread alive is to remind someone about it. I'll spare anything that shows a steady pattern of posting. Otherwise, let's make new memories.

D, PM me and TG with links to those three threads and we'll see what can be done to spare their loss.
