Timwi-
Yes, I remember that message.
Ah, so you even knew that there was something other than "deleted"/"yesterday" in the thread.
Read again what I said above.
I agree with you that the latter insinuation was inappropriate, but I already said that. I don't remember seeing the first, and the second one is entirely correct.
Asserting it does not make it so.
As far as I understood this, nobody knew who actually deleted the thread.
Then how about "We need to know who the administrator of the board is because there is a matter that we would like to discuss with them?" Is that so much to ask?
