Bert,
Thanks for re-posting this
I suppose we have beat this thread literally to death.
I was quite surprised to find the "Blame Bert" post deleted over 12 hours earlier, show up, and then how these type of blind threads can be dangerous, sorry, just cannot remember your terminology, but do not find this post in the above ones.
So when I found my explanation deleted as well, I deferred to your judgement, thinking you as the administrator must know best and have your reasons.
However, after further thought, to better clarify the event, I thought it best to post my explanation as you did, so to diminish as much confusion regarding this issue.
I suppose when you pull the trigger you cannot take the shot back, however, it was never my intention, when deleting or changing a post to cause harm or confusion, but rather the opposite was intended.
I am not upset about the posts being read that I thought were deleted, but I am glad to know about it so not to do this in the future, and hopefully those posts changed or deleted, if read, did not cause any undue harm or consternation.
Time to open presents and drink some mulled wine.
Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family and the ACUB family.
