There is no way his post should have even been considered for removal, and I am talking about the post-original ones, but after reviewing the original, I don't see a problem with that either. He presented facts to the best of his ability. We now see some of the facts may need to be adjusted. Job well done by eveyone. I know a few people have the authority to remove a post besides Greg, and I think I recall that you (David) might be one of the folks with that authority. If I am wrong, my apologies, but I would like to know on what basis you feel these posts could be candidates for removal?

We here in the States have a particular soft-spot for our Freedom of Speech, which is why we put it on paper when we cut loose from you guys, lol.......again......I mean no animosity (besides the "cut loose" crack but we still love you AND the Queen), just like to know what the thinking is.

I don't want to speak on behalf of Dick S., but I think he is just trying to be sensitive to someone showing up on the board for the first time. That is a good idea. We are trying to cultivate interest in the hobby, and newbies ought to be treated with kid gloves.

Now, I am off to Foxwoods for a few days to go lose some cash.......come and check raise me at the 10/20 Hold Em table!
