<I>I deleted it because I felt that KG4 and his friend greg posted several times on Vendit's thread just to see if
they could disrupt the thread.</I>
I'm unsure how you were able to gauge their intent. All the posts they made were respectful. They were also made after market hours, when many threads, including yours, go off-topic.
You are treading down a very slippery slope when you judge respectful, yet personal, off-topic posts, made afterhours on a thread which is, by its nature Off-Topic, as worthy of deletion.
I hope Bob reviews and restores those posts and am looking forward to less broad rules with regard to post deletions. IMO,they are too often wielded with the intent to stifle discourse.
