Thanks.  That's helpful.

No, you deleted a bunch of messages that were still useful to me.  I
understand that this was an inadvertent mistake on your part, and that you
believed them to be useless.

I don't think that's a fair comment.  Anthere is annoyed at the lack of
communication - which could have prevented this mistake.  This is not a big
issue in the sense of the particular thread deleted.  It was inconvenient to
me that it was deleted before I was finished with it - no biggie.  But I
think her concern is that similar situations are likely unless this is
discussed.

Is it possible to have more than one admin?  If so I'm willing to learn how
to administrate the board and become admin for the mediation board.  I
realise that this would give me access to admin abilities for all parts of
the boards - but in the same way you have agreed not to moderate on the
mediation board, I would agree not to on the other boards.  Only if the rest
of the mediation committee agrees of course.
