jimmie,
Sorry. I hope I did not give you too much stress. I guess in a way it is a good thing do know. I would say that around 75%, maybe less, of users are notified by email of any post in their Watched List. So, if you are watching a thread such as this one, any post will result in an email sent to each user. The email contains a link to that post AND contains the post. So, once you hit submit, the post is distributed in its unedited form. If the user then clicks the link, if the post has been edited he or she will see the edited form.
If the post has been deleted, they will still see the original post as I did in the email, but clicking the link will bring them to a page with nothing on it but a broken link. While a user could always cut and paste and send a post anywhere they want, they can also email the post, email the post and all responses or email the entire thread to one or more people.
Sorry. I just thought you would like to know that. I did delete your post as I found it unfair for you to respond to something you didn't know about.
I DID COPY AND PASTE YOUR POST IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT REPOSTED.
