The answer: exactly for that reason. Why should a person who is moderator have special privileges? Also, for exactly that reason.

Quite often people do things beacuase they can, or because of who they are. Surely you're familiar with that.

Well, that's fine. But I will not post in a thread started by a notorious thread-deleter.

Actually I may just post a canned post warning others that Tee deletes all threads he starts so people don't waste their time.

That'll show him. Boy, I bet he'll be sorry.

(Notorious thread-deleter...sounds like a line from the old Seifeld series.)

That would be a lie. Tee doesn't delete all threads. You could write that there is a risk that he might delete a thread if you were at all interested in being accurate.

While statements containing "always" or "never" are rarely accurate, in this particular case, Rich's statement at least can't be disproven by scanning the active threads on the board. There are no active threads started by Tee. Since we know that Tee has started one or more threads, the fact there are none available for reading does in fact support Rich's statement that Tee deletes all his threads. At least the statement can't be disproven in the most logical, readily confirmable manner available to us.

I didn't know that there were conditions placed on Rich's statement...I didn't see any. Anyway, I found a thread by Tee starte in January of this year, but I guess that doesn't count since it doesn't meet the added on conditions.

Oh, well...

Then demonstrating that a thread started by Tee still exists on the board certainly disproves the absolute statement Rich made. But how did you find it? I scrolled through every screen of topics available to me, and there were no topics started by Tee. Do you have to search for all posts by author?

When I discovered, as you did, that the pages of threads available only took us back two weeks and, knowing that Tee really doesn't start that many threads, I simply did a search and found one on January 8th, I believe it was.

Oh come on, Tim,

This thread doesn't even compare with Lt. Dan's recent "I'm Done" post for pure entertainment value.

Entertainment-wise, gruberted's "running gloves" post has also always been a personal favorite of mine.

Why, your own "Whatever Happened to Class?" thread was far more entertaining than this.

Of course, the 1st and 3rd of these examples have been deleted, so it would be hard for a person to do a fair evaluation.

Now none of those posts was really about you, so maybe you didn't find them so entertaining - but I did.

I had a retort for this thread, but UPS just showed up at my door with my new wristbands, and I'm anxious to try them on.
