Indeed. That's why I apply very low standards in moderation. A thread  
which only contains "deleted", "yesterday", "deleted", yesterday",  
"deleted", "yesterday" certainly falls into a category where, with common  
sense, one can assume that it is a dead discussion that can be removed.

As only administrator of the board at the time, it fell into my  
*responsibility* to do such housekeeping operations. And as it is with  
housekeepers, if you don't want them to throw away something that looks  
like crap, make it not look like crap. Alternatively, keep your own house.  
That is now the solution which we have agreed upon, and it is certainly  
one which I can happily accept.

It is, however, beyond the pale that I was attacked publicly (in a  
discussion that will be archived and indexed, with my real name in it, for  
years to come), on a personal level, for doing what I volunteered to do,  
was appointed to do, and did in completely good faith, using common sense.  
For that, I expect an apology.
