FF, I'm not tearing a strip off anyone's hide. I respect the mods and the work they do. However, I disagree with this policy.
This is a community forum. Now, in any forum there are rules to follow etc. otherwise there is anarchy. Can you imagine participating in a club or whatever and there being a written record of events that happened. Then you have a newly appointed secretary who goes back and starts throwing away whatever he/she see's fit.
It totally abuses the the present and past members of the community.
And don't even get me started on off topic posts. It's fine for TG to post about some sort of space time thing, but Wilcox starts going through and deleting the posts of mere mortals.
I say again that the mods are abusing the community members. How many other long time community members have to raise objection before someone gets the point?
