I just noticed that Orange Ump's post and my reply were deleted. I am mystified why mine was taken off the board, since I simply pointed out that this topic was discussed earlier and beaten to death. I asked him to research the matter and come back to us with a reasoned opinion about the topic, rather than just cast apersions. How is that worthy of being deleted? Of all the inflammatory rhetoric on this board, that was deemed imprudent? Come on, mick and bob - that wasn't even close to being caustic and it definetly stayed on topic.
I deleted it, I'm sure. In general, if I delete a post, I also delete subsequent posts that refer to the offending post. iirc, there was orange's initial flame, then two responses. It seemed best to remove all three in an attempt to prevent any more flare-ups.

I agree with that thought, bob.
I've done the same thing.
One post is an easy delete, and the next post, which may very well be intelligent, polite and civil, may unfortunately have the *rejected post* quoted.

So they both go away.
