Thanks Denny, that is nowhere near what I was coming up with. Been talking to the beasts to much I guess. I do have internet but I`m not very good at it.
By the way David, do stick with us please, this too will pass. Heck even I got censored a couple of weeks ago. Pissed me off big time but damn I wouldn`t have anyone to talk to if I walked off........................
Take care
Tom

It's an internet truism that people who post swan-songs rarely actually leave.
Folks that *do* leave permenently slip away in the night with no notice given and no look back, I've found.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Geez Dale it was only 15-20 posts, I'll bet you've gotten at least three to four times that many PMs about it.DaleWisely wrote:As you may not know, I've been getting a LOT of messages about the whole Avery matter and it's popping up in varoius threads. I think it's important to moderate that. So, when this thread, in which a guy is trying to sell a flute, developed into another Avery thread, I thought enough was enough and I deleted more or less everything that took in that direction. Heavy handed though it might be, I sit convinced it was the right thing to do and I'm not apologetic.
I've grown accustomed to this: As others have observed, this board is rather lightly moderated. But, no matter how lightly moderated it is, there's a subset of people who will regard it as censorship and be unable to take it. So it goes. I always hate to lose knowledgeable contributors, but I will never, ever operate an unmoderated board.

I did catch it while you had stopped prunning for a minute to step back and look at it. There wasn't any other way to do it, but to remove the rest.
Best,
Denny

I will also second (or third) the idea that you reconsider, David.
Now, I'm going to weigh in with a story of my own about an unmoderated group. Besides learning whistle and Irish flute, I also play Highland pipes. I found a wonderful website, much like this one, for pipes. But before that, I was subscribed to rec.music.makers.bagpipe. It impressed me as being kind of rough ar first, but I figured, WTH, I can hang out and post occasionally because there *was* a certain amount of useful information. Over the next few years, it degnerated into a free-for-all: flame wars, long strings of vitriol tossed back and forth by members, long (and short) range sniping, and then lots and lots of spam. So I left and joined the new group, along with many other pipers who were weary of wasted time and porno ads and drivel.
My point is that a well-run, moderated group is ever so much more informative and fun and enjoyable to be a member of, than a free-for-all dogfight in an alley.
With best regards too.
