And I'm with you; deleted posts to me always leave me dying of curiosity.
I admit that is part of the reason but I also think that when someone posts something really stupid it should stay there so the whole world can see how stupid the person is. (or at least the IHUB world).
I know on stock related boards it gets a bit crazy because people stray away from discussing the company but on non stock related boards I think the only posts that should be deleted are over the top vulgar ones or posts that give someone's personal information out.
Once Tuesday comes there may not be this problem anymore more (for me at least!)
