Well, however it's done my point is that there is no grand conspiracy
to delete articles and then offer to bring them back somewhere else
for a "price" as the OP has charged. The OP needs to know that Greg
Kohs is not affiliated with WP even if he does get deleted articles
from admins the same way anybody else can. Deleted articles are not
passed "under the table" to "a *buddy's* commercial project".
